Black Dunghill is a fairly uneventful hill with views back to Princetown and north towards Great Links Tor. The walk here is straightforward but not particularly exciting, with long grass in summer and boggy ground in winter. The easiest access is from Holming Beam, following a path across a walled field. Be mindful of the Merrivale firing range and check for red flags before visiting.

Dartefacts is a database of Dartmoor sites with far more close-up detail than we can show here, and it is the best place to go deeper. Dartefacts is free to use, and nobody has to pay to look things up. If you want more, a yearly subscription adds 10-figure grid references, map zoom down to 1:25,000 and lists to tick off the places you have visited, and it helps keep the site going. We would encourage you to subscribe.
