Overview

Please note change of starting place.
We walk from Colyton to explore Holyford Woods Nature Reserve, returning via Sand Pit Hill and a short section of the East Devon Way. Pleasant wooded countryside with some fine views. This summer walk is somewhat longer than usual for a Thursday so please bring a picnic lunch. There might also be an opportunity for tea & cakes in Colyton at the end of the walk.
