Wall's End (I12), and Hurston Row (H13)

We parked at the foot of Merripit Hill and walked up the hill until we reached a wall.  We followed this wall along only having to leave it once to avoid a marshy area and to cross a stream. As JH anticipated in his book birds hopped along the wall in front of us.  They were not close enough to identify or photograph but could have been wheatears.

After walking for 30 mnutes  we we reached the end of the wall, where there was another wall joining it, it was not very interesting, but it had been easy to find.





After we walked back to the car we drove to Warren House Inn (I13) where we had a delicious lunch.  After lunch we walked up the path at the side of the Inn up Water Hill. The heather was just coming out and looked particularly good just above the Inn.


Part way up Water Hill we turned off to a path that went along Hurston Ridge.  This was a fairly flat walk with a clear path.  We hoped that we would see the stone row from this path but had to walk through rough ground to get across to it, following the ordance survey app on my phone.  The stone row was impressive.  We walked down between the two rows for its length.





On the way back we followed a small path in the direction of the stone row and easily came back to the path along the ridge which we followed back to Warren House Inn.
