Dartmoor: Shaptor Wood - Part 1: Northcombe Copse from Slade Cross

Northcombe Copse Tor summit rock basin

This is a very special place; I have walked in Shaptor Wood more times than anywhere else in the whole of Dartmoor National Park, and there are many fabulous tors within it. So I have decided to include every single tor in four separate blog posts to allow me to show you, in detail, this boulder-strewn woodland. Before I start I must thank Tim Jenkinson who has found many of these excellent tors and helpfully documented them on his Flickr Page. He is a true inspiration for this era of discovering long-lost rock piles and has motivated me to keep pursuing my hobby.
