Distance: 6.9 miles

It leads to the charming hamlet of Talford and passes the delightful Escot church - this now stands quite isolated from Escot House due to the construction of the new A30, when dozens of protestors — including Swampy— caused a major upheaval by building a network of tunnels and camping in trees.

A popular walk throughout the year but especially during the festive season .
