Overview

This is a lovely circular walk from the CP at the leat above Clearbrook. We head off across the moor towards Bickleigh before descending the minor road to the old station where we have a coffee stop. We then follow the old railway line south before heading towards the river and up a short steep climb to a minor road which we follow to Shaugh Bridge where we will have our lunch stop. We then follow the river Meavy past the Dewerstone Centre and towards Gratton when we will retrace our steps to the start via Chub Tor.
