Overview

This is only a short walk of just over 4 miles but you do get to visit the most recognisable landmarks in the whole of West Devon. We are going to be walking up Brent Tor to see the church on top although  this will actually be a short excursion from the main route. Then we will walk down the other side and visit the village of North Brentor and the surrounding parish footpaths before making our way back to the church car park.

There are some magnificent views from the top so if its a clear day perhaps bring your binoculars.  It's a reasonably level walk except for the climb to the church but as this is an excursion from the main route you could stay at the bottom of the hill.
