Overview

 We commence with the Two Moors Way, bypassing Down St Mary before following quiet footpaths to reach Zeal Monochorum - with an optional pub stop! We return via the Devonshire Heartland Way. Warning - this walk could be very muddy - please wear appropriate footwear!

The train departs Morchard Road at 2.43pm and 3.44pm so we will either take a longer or shorter lunch break to accommodate.

Will be walked at a brisk pace.
