Out on the western side of Dartmoor, it feels at times like the Lakeland Fells. We clambered up the West Okement and got an exhilarating pummelling in a double waterfall amongst huge boulders lined with ferns. We then had an 'up close and personal' nature moment in a bog, where we found a beautiful insect-eating plant, the sundew. Next stop was ancient Black-a-Tor Copse, before a climb up to Black Tor and spectacular views over to High Willhays, the highest point on Dartmoor. We then hiked back in the hot sun and had the most delicious, languid and welcome swim in magical Meldon Pond, where the temperature in the water was 19.5 degrees.
