Overview

This is a circular route with a difference. We begin with a boat trip from Totnes down the River Dart to Dartmouth. The return walk follows the Dart Valley Trail, a long distance footpath. The route offers varied terrain with woodlands, riverside views, stretches of open countryside and beautiful Devon villages. Although this walk has been graded as moderate there is considerable elevation change throughout the route. We will be catching the 10.15am ferry from Steamer Quay in Totnes.
