Overview

Start by walking alongside the River Lemon, then leat before going up hill to join the path along the ramparts of the ancient fort to return to the leat which we then follow to its outtake from the river. On to the bridge at the ford to cross the Lemon and a quiet lane up to East Ogwell.  Downhill using footpath across fields and woodland back towards Lemon. Then through the woods passing sunken cavern, which was used as a church, thus returning to bridge at ford. Back along riverside to recross the river and back through the woods and lane up to Wolborough Church and the final decent back to the River Lemon and the cars.
