This short and easy walk captures an almost feudal landscape around Broadclyst.

It follows permissive National Trust conservation paths (look out for green arrows on white) through Broadclyst Moor & the valley of the Clyst.

During the winter some stretches can be muddy.

At times, Exmoor ponies and Devon Rubies can be seen grazing in the distance.

You can also make a small diversion to Clyston Mill, a water powered corn mill, where corn is still ground - check for opening days.
