Overview

Starting at Merrivale join us as we meander through the woods with views to Vixen Tor, continuing to Horrabridge via Sampford Spiney.

A varied walk through pretty countryside and villages with moorland views. A fair amount of ascent, a couple of small stream crossings, muddy in places on a wet day.
