Overview

Please note this is a revised walk from that originally planned due to forecast weather conditions. 

We walk under Meldon Viaduct and then over the A30 heading to Saxongate. From there we head to Bracken Tor, through the army camp to Anthony Stile. Then on to Vellake Corner and then follow the West Devon Way for a while before the return to the car park. 

Please note a head torch or torch may be required.
