Have had a look on the web and this is what I found:--- Cater's Beam Cater's Beam is a featureless fen covered hill of South Dartmoor. It isn't difficult to get to, but it is a strangely remote, primeaval and wet place to be. To quote Eden Philpotts "Time rolls over the mountain like a mist and the mighty granite arch of the Beam emerges eternal and unchanged. Its tough integument of peat and heath and matter herbage answers only to the call of the seasons and it bears grass, bloom and berry as it bore them for palaeolithic man and his flocks". Wow - and there's much more of this descriptive style! The reality is a bit more prosaic but this really is a place for wilderness freaks. Approach from the southern road out from Princetown. Just before the road turns to Whiteworks there is a handy car park (SX 603708). Head southwards along an easy track to Nun's Cross Farm. Then head off along the old Jobber's track which takes you up to Cater's Beam and the edge of the southern wilderness. A 6.5 mile walk with no great hazards other than water in whatever form. Be very careful of misty weather while on the plateau. I hope this is the right place and btw Bern looks cold!
