Pennynaps Copse

Delve's Grave Cross Suitably miserable weather for such a lugubriously named spot. The green lane marked "unsuitable for motor vehicles" goes to Higher Darracott, and the main lane is heading from Torrington towards Alverdiscott, although this isn't advertised. The lane behind the camera is from the B3232 near Deep Moor.
