Belstone Common, Belstone, Dartmoor National Park

Belstone Common, Belstone, Dartmoor National Park

On the Ordnance Survey Explorer OL28 'Dartmoor' map, Belstone Common is marked as moorland between the River Taw and East Okement River covering Watchet Hill and Belstone Tors.

'Holiday in Dartmoor' is a practical guide to the National Park so our emphasis here is access points to the moor. These can be found at the end of two skinny roads that push south and south west of Belstone. The southern moorland gate takes you into the Taw Valley. The south western gate takes you onto Watchet Hill. You can also wander up to this area on the Tarka Trail from Okehampton or via Cullever Steps from the Okehampton Camp direction. Given that this is open access moorland, there are clearly many other routes you can follow. Refer to the OS map for detail.
