The Walk

The landscape West of Tiverton is quite hilly so any walk in this area is bound to include steep hills.

A From the car park turn Right and head towards the main road.

Cross over diagonally Left into a quiet lane showing a signpost marked Lurley.

B Just past the letterbox on your left take track on your left.

Continue for just over a mile until you reach a lane and a few houses.

C Where the lane bends to the right take footpath on your left.

You can make a short diversion to Loxbeare by continuing along the lane and at the T junction with another lane turn Right to Loxbeare church. There used to be a school on left near the church.
The origin of the name implies a 'wooded area' (beare).

Retrace steps until you reach the footpath you recently bypassed .

D The next stretch is a steady climb.

Follow path with hedges on your left until you reach Leigh Barton Farm. Continue along drive which is also a public footpath.

Carefully cross Rackenford Road into a lane heading West.

After a steady 150 m climb, turn left onto a track (a public bridlepath) opposite some houses with a red telephone box and continue through a wooded area. There used to be a mill near the stream.

At T junction with another track turn Left, past Hill Farm (on left) and continue heading east

E Turn right at a lane then almost immediately left into Frogwell.

Follow the lane for 1/3 of a mile where it continues as a public bridleway.

This is quite a steep climb until you reach a lane called Tombstone Lane.

Turn left then soon take a bridle path on your left and descend until a junction near a small woodland.

FTake track left which after a while becomes a lane, leading you back to Calverleigh.
