Overview

This walk is mainly over heathland using old lanes, tracks and pathways. From the car park follow tracks to Shortwood Common, Dalditch Common and on to Squabmoor Reservoir. Then continue to the Bystock Nature Reserve where, weather dependent, we can hope to see butterflies, damsel & dragonflies. From here pick up the East Devon Way which leads back to the car park.
