The walk
This most varied circular pub walk includes a long & narrow stone bridge, stepping stones (which can be bypassed), & magnificent views of Dartmoor.
There are several steady climbs and one steep descent.
Much of the landscape assumes the appearance of an estate/park created by the second Viscount Hambleden.
