Overview

No big hills, mostly tracks and quiet lanes, some steps to negotiate. We will walk along the old railway line following the Dartmoor Way. After crossing Drakeford Bridge we will walk through Pulbrook Wood & Hisley Wood, both managed by The Woodland Trust.  After crossing the medieval packhorse bridge we will stop for lunch beside the river. We will walk for a short distance along the railway track before taking a higher footpath to return to Bovey, passing Atway Farm and pretty cottages.
