Eastern White Barrow, South Brent, Dartmoor National Park
This is arguably the most distinctive barrow in Dartmoor National Park. Many barrows are larger. None has such an exaggerated shape. The views from the top are immense. It's also relatively easy to get to.
We've positioned Eastern White Barrow on Google maps. Zoom in on the 'Satellite' setting to see its location. To visit for the first time, head for the car parking area at Shipley Bridge. Follow the tarmac road that runs by the River Avon until you see a second tarmac road rising to your left. This takes you to the beginning of Zeal Tor Tramway (Dismantled). Walk the tramway around the side of Brent Moor and Eastern White Barrow is visible on the horizon. Leave the tramway and follow wide grass tracks to the top. The route of the tramway is marked on the Ordnance Survey Explorer OL28 'Dartmoor' map. It's called Dismantled Tramway.
