Ruddycleave Water Tor

Close to the confluence of Ruddycleave Water and the Double Dart, this is a dark vegetation covered tor casting a great shadow over the track through Grey Park Wood and Warren Bridge.

Whilst this is on Private Land and a permit to Buckland Woods can be obtained from Fountain Forestry, it is worth noting that there is a track from the north that passes though Open Access woodland then follows the right bank of the stream down to the tor which does not possess a barrier.
