markj99 visited on 8th Jun 2023 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 5 Access: 2 I parked up on the edge of Twelve Men's moor at SX 25841 75851, walked E to reach the valley between Kilmar Tor & Bearah Tor. I followed the valley W to reach the Bearah Tor Tramway, then headed S towards the obvious cairns on the summit of Langstone Downs. There are three contiguous stone cairns on a SE-NW Axis.

Langstone downs Cairns submitted by Bladup : Part of the kerb cairn, it's the eastern of the three cairns, Sharp tor sits proud in the distance. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Three cairns right next to each other, the eastern cairn has a outer circle of stones with some uprights still in place, the setting is amazing.
