Brampford Speke to Upton Pyne a gentle walk in to Devon's past

This short walk starts in the idyllic village of Brampford Speke and partly follows the Exe Valley Way; the church of Upton Pyne is well worth visit. Near Bidwell Barton is a graveyard of old machinery,now completely overgrown but glimpses of the Devon's past are still fascinating.
