Walk 2 Dunsford to Bridford (4.7 miles)
This walk crosses the famous Steps Bridge passing Dunsford nature reserve well known for its carpets of wild daffodils.
Difficulty:
When you join the main road to Moretonhampstead, you will notice a footpath, on the other side, leading to the river Teign.
The only way across is via some dodgy stepping stones. If you think it's safe, take this and follow the path, west, along the river.
The route climbs, at times steeply , towards the somewhat remote village of Bridford with its 16th century Church and 17th Century village pub.
The walk then returns along the fast flowing river Teign.
Pub in Bridford:Bridford Inn .
The pub has recently been reopened BUT check the internet for possible closure.
