Scorhill Stone Circle

If you like prehistoric remains, this is a rewarding close-up; if you’re after a quick roadside stop, the access makes it a bigger commitment than the circle itself. The approach is part of the appeal. A recommended route from Batworthy Corner goes by Round Pound, drops to the North Teign, crosses Teign-e-ver and Wallabrook clapper bridges, then follows a grass track uphill to the stones. You’re pairing the monument with a moorland walk and old river crossings, rather than stepping out of the car beside it. Counts of fallen and surviving stones vary between accounts, so there’s no point trying to match a precise total on site; the ring’s different heights and scattered stones are more interesting than an inventory.
