Overview

A lovely fairly easy walk from Princetown  along the track to pass South Hessary Tor and on to Nun's ancient cross. We will have coffee at the Old Tin workings after which we join the Devonport Leat. We will reach the top of the Aqueduct where we can stop for lunch. After clambering down the Aqueduct we pass over the River Meavy. There is a short stretch of road here after which we make our way up to the Old disused railway and back to Princetown.
