This is the popular daffodil walk along the river Teign.

Village of Dunsford

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.
