A very pleasant walk involving some climbing.
Near Bonehill Rocks you take a track on left - here Spielberg shot some of his scenes for War Horse.
You can avoid the climb to Chinkwell Tor by continuing along a track keeping Tor on your right.
Other Tors which can be explored are Bell Tor and Honeybag Tor.

There is much more to Haytor than a steep climb to the Tor and back again!. Two very popular and fairly easy walks in search of a lost village
 Postbridge
A popular and varied forest walk with lots to see: bronze age stone & hut circles, a clapper bridge & Bellever Tor.
 Grimspound
During the bronze age Grimspound , made of granite blocks , enclosed 24 hut circles, suggesting a milder climate and an abundance of trees. Two popular walks.
