Dartmoor Giant Ladder, Widecombe in the Moor, Dartmoor National Park
At the end of 2017, in a Dartmoor valley running down to Widecombe-in-the-Moor, a giant ladder appeared in the place where the Dartmoor Giant Chair used to be.
The chair was created in 2006 by Henry Brudenell-Bruce and was eventually removed in 2010 after Dartmoor National Park Authority issued an enforcement notice to remove the sculpture. The chair is now in The Manor Garden at Cranborne Estate in Dorset.
The ladder was toppled by Storm Eleanor at the beginning of 2018.
[We've positioned the Dartmoor Giant Ladder on Google maps so zoom in on the 'Satellite' setting to see its location.
To visit, head for Hound Tor and its car park. A moorland road runs north west to Jay's Grave. There's limited parking on the west side of the road by Jay's Grave. A path runs west from Jay's Grave to Natsworthy and Hamel Down. The Dartmoor Giant Ladder is visible from that path close to Jay's Grave. Refer to the Ordnance Survey Explorer OL28 'Dartmoor' map for detail. Note that the path running west from Jay's Grave gets very muddy after rain. Wear boots.]
