Obelisk

Difficulty:

This delightful and easy walk starts at the car park in East Budleigh and takes you past the church where Sir Walter Raleigh's father was church warden.

The route includes Bicton Obelisk & Church then returns via Otterton Mill (well worth a visit) , along the Otter and an old aqueduct.

Please note: There might be warnings that the path along the otter is closed but cunning walkers have created a small if not muddy diversion.

Difficulty:

Like walk 2 but via Otterton and returning using an old lane, now a cyclepath, above the Otter with magnificent views of the valley - road is closed to vehicles. The route takes you along East Budleigh's Middle street and High street with its charming stream and cottages.
