Lizwell Tor

To the west of Lizwell Meet, this fine tor is deep within the trees above the track that runs beside the Webburns, from Cockingford to Ponsworthy.

Typical of all the woodlands that are collectively known as Buckland Woods, Lizwell Wood is terrible to traverse off track.

Thankfully, this one is not the worst and the visitor will see an excellent granite pile that spans the spur of the hill.
