Walk 1 Perkin's Village (2.7 miles)
Difficulty:
Please note:
Wellies are needed after heavy rainfall when fields are likely to be wet.
A stretch through a wood contains large pebbles.
A great walk with no steep hills exploring the rural and peaceful life around Aylesbeare and Perkin's Village using quiet lanes and public footpaths - ideal for a spring or summer's day.
- Two centuries ago Perkin's Village was called Parkyns Village, which was named after the 'end' of an 11th century deer park , west of the village.
- Sadly, the park no longer exists.
- Expect to see freely wandering chickens or turkeys on a farm nearby.
- Also, look out for the thatched 'Old Farmhouse' in the same village.
- The route offers some extensive views of Exeter & Haldon.
