The Five Bells, at Clyst Hydon

Why not break your journey half way by visiting the famous Five Bells pub which has been under new management since 2024!

Considering the distance, most of it is covered by tracks or public foot paths.

There are no steep climbs. In June the orchards are quite sensational.

Although all the paths are well signed, a GPS will be useful to guide you through an often undulating landscape.
