If you have never done this walk before, it's a must ! A castle, pub and river walk combined through one of the most magical landscapes in Devon!
Follow the famous Hunters' Path and return at Fingle Bridge via a riverside path, Fisherman's Path.
Note:this public path is rocky in parts and can be quite slippery.

'Thus one mounts to the Hunter's Path along the top of the gorge, on this side heather clad and crowned with firs, while the other is mantled with the copsewood of Whyddon Park...The windings of the river make a fine sight from the upper path, on which comes a reputed logan - stone. After following this for a mile one comes into sight of the lonely bridge'
