Not a visit as such, more a view from afar:
From the top of Brent Tor to be exact!
With the help of my trusty binoculars I was able to spot 3 of the Barrows – one of which looked to be well mangled.
My O/S map shows 6 Barrows in a line running East / West. There does not appear to be any public access to the Barrows.
Obviously a proper visit to the Barrows would confirm this?

The area round these barrows is excitingly haunted by a headless horse and some spectral hounds. Stay on the path.
