Down Ridge is a low-lying, flat hill with little in the way of summit features. The ground becomes boggy as it flattens out, and it offers good views north and west across to Princetown. To the south lies the Monks Path and one of its crosses, with the O Brook nearby. The best approach is along the path from Hexworthy, marked on the OS maps.

Go deeper with Dartefacts
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.
