Full description
South West Heritage Trust, 1838-1848, Digitised Tithe Maps and Transcribed Apportionments (Cartographic). SDV359954.
Shown on the Tithe Map, this was the original route to Manaton, which ran through Houndtor Wood.
Ordnance Survey, 1880-1899, First Edition Ordnance 25 inch map (Cartographic). SDV336179.
The route over Trendlebere is shown on the late 19th century historic map, but not on the Tithe Map, so appears to date to the mid-late 19th century.

(F4) Terraced track recorded in Houndtor Woods at SX 76549 80247 (Lidar data 27/11/2015). Woodland Trust Reference 9.
(F5) Possible part of old track recorded at SX 76728 80379 (Lidar data 27/11/2015). Analysis suggests that due to the steep drop of 2 metres to the Old Manaton Road it may be unlikely to have been part of it. Woodland Trust Reference 20.
(F11) Hollow way recorded from Lidar, SX 76561 80317 to SX 76539 80303. May be related to trackway.
