Langstone Moor Stone Row, Peter Tavy, Dartmoor National Park

Langstone Moor Stone Row, Peter Tavy, Dartmoor National Park

Whilst it's very easy to locate Langstone Moor Stone Row, it's much more difficult to see/photograph its stones. Situated by The Longstone Standing Stone (Langstone Moor), the stone row runs south/north across tussocky moorland.

We've positioned Langstone Moor Stone Row on Google maps so zoom in on the 'Satellite' setting to see its location.

To visit for the first time, walk from the car parking area at Smeardon Down by Peter Tavy. A moorland path marked on the Ordnance Survey Explorer OL28 'Dartmoor' map climbs to the stone row. As you approach, you'll see the The Longstone Standing Stone (Langstone Moor) in front of you. The stone row runs off this as mentioned by Phil Newman in his book 'The Field Archaeology of Dartmoor': 'Several of the stone rows terminate with a standing stone or 'menhir' at one end, such as the three rows at Drizzlecombe, as well as Shovel Down and Langstone Moor.'
