Unusually for North Devon these hills are not too bad!
It is moorland so heather and gorse feature a lot!

Holdstone Down is a Holy Mountain to the Aertherian Society.
Aertherians believe that Jesus (strictly speaking, ‘Jesus’ is Earth’s incarnation of an extraterrestrial “Cosmic Master”) appeared to Dr George King, their founder, on Holdstone Down on the 23rd July 1958. On that day, they say, King was contacted by “the great being of Love we call The Master Jesus, who appeared before him in radiant physical form.”
There are 19 Aertherian holy mountains, scattered throughout the British Isles, America, Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland, France and Tanzania (the latter being Mount Kilimanjaro). But Holdstone Down is the most important.
“This great Cosmic Avatar sent streams of spiritual power through Dr. King, deep into the mountain itself, making Holdstone Down forever holy. This was the first mountain to be charged in the great Mission called Operation Starlight.”
The Aertherius Society
Every year on the 23rd July, hundreds of people gather on Holdstone Down to charge a special battery with spiritual energy to be released when the Aertherians decide the world is in most dire need of it.
Cache placed with the kind permission of the National Trust.
