This walk starts at the top end of Burrator Reservoir at Norsworthy Bridge Car Park.
From the car park, cross over Norsworthy Bridge and take the track on the right going uphill by the side of Norsworthy Plantation. This track climbs steadily up with trees on the left and Newleycombe Lake valley on the right. After about a mile you pass the posts of Cockles gate on to the open moor.
Follow the track to where it crosses a stream with a gert (mine cutting) on the left. Leave the track and walk up the edge of the gert to the head where you will find Crazywell Pool.
Crazywell pool is an old tinners mine dating back to the 16th century. From here follow a path eastwards to Crazywell cross and past the cross back onto the track.
The track continues on past Newleycombe Cross on the right to meet Devonport leat at Older Bridge. This leat (water channel) is still is use and enters the water system at Dousland treatment works by Burrator Reservoir.
Follow the leat upstream past ‘SLH’ and cross to the tunnel where the leat cuts through the moors. The path continues eastwards past a tinners hut which still has trees growing out of it. The hut still has a fireplace, but no roof.
At Nun’s cross head south along the track to boundary stone, where there is a junction. Take the right fork up the hill past several boundary stones with ‘PCWW 1917’. These mark the boundary for the water intake to Burrator reservoir.
On Eylesburrow Summit there are the remains of two Cairns. We also found a metal post (like a sword) sticking out of a granite rock. We were not able to remove the sword, but you never know, someone might.
From the top take the path heading west towards Combshead Tor. From this side of Eylesburrow there are fantastic views south of the sea.
This path heads down into Narrator Valley until it meets Narrator Brook. The path has disappeared, but if you keep heading downstream you will come to a ford with a footbridge about 20 feet away hidden behind bushes.
Cross the stream and follow the path down, on the right in the trees is a weather station.
The path heads northwest through several sets of gateposts, which eventually turn into a track. The track passes the remains of Deancombe farm and continues down to Norsworthy Bridge Car park.
