The Valley of the Cowsic River from Conies Down Tor

The valley of the Cowsic River from Conies Down Tor

Conies Down Tor is one of the least impressive of Dartmoor's many tors although it does have a fantastic location, perched on the side of a hill overlooking the broad valley of the Cowsic River. A badly-damaged double stone row is about 300m SW. 

The upper part of the valley, out of shot to the left, is much steeper and contains the remains of a Bronze Age settlement with several hut circles overlooked by the Beardown Man prehistoric menhir.
