Points of Interest/Notes on this walk:

High Willhays is often mistakenly referred to as the highest point in England south of Kinder Scout. In fact Black Mountain (703m) on the border between Herefordshire (England) and Powys (Wales) is considerably higher than both Crowden Head (Kinder Scout) (636m) and High Willhays (621m).

The odd shaped lumps of rock strewn across so many of the South West's tors are collectively known as 'clitter'.
