Water Hill sits just past Postbridge, near The Warren House Inn. It has a large cairn at its summit and provides good views in all directions, especially south to Ryders Hill and southeast to Hameldown. The walk to the top is straightforward, and the vantage point is well worth the short climb.

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.
