Terrace Walk

Tap map for larger version

This is one of our most popular walks following part of the Dartmoor Way along the river Ashburn into Whiddon Scrubbs; it then climbs steadily towards Owlacombe cross offering magnificent views of the rolling Dartmoor moors.
A From Roborough lane turn into a public footpath called Terrace Walk.
Alternatively, from the town centre, continue along North Street. After 400m turn right onto Terrace Walk and follow hedge on left.
B At Cuddiford Cross cross road into another footpath - do not cross bridge - and follow the river into the woods.
C Where the path crosses the river turn right into a track.
D Continue past Lower Whiddon Farm - some stretches here can be muddy after heavy rain. When you join a lane turn right.
E Take left fork and continue down a lane.
F At public footpath sign turn right.
G Turn right at the end of this footpath into a lane then almost immediately right again into Rew Road. Continue past Sports Hall and take first lane on left back to Roborougfh lane.
There is one steady climb.

Ashburton

A short but enjoyable walk around Ashburton.

Picture was taken more than 100 years ago showing 'the Bull Ring' , named after a sport which was banned in 1835. Notice the gas street light and island.
