The Walk
AStart from the Car Park.
B After crossing the Yeo on a longish wooden bridge the route cuts across an old Roman Fort near Bury Barton, where you can still see an old Chapel.
It continues following lanes meandering through gently rolling fields with glimpses of Dartmoor and Coldridge Church high up on a mound.
C From Nymet Rowland, with its little church snug against a farm the route joins an old Victorian path to Lapford Station.
There is no pub in Nymet Rowland.
