The walk
This most varied circular 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.
The walk follows part of the Dartmoor Way and if you are in the area twe highly recommend this walk
