Overview

We’ll head down through woodland and fields to the edge of Meavy before walking along lanes and uphill along paths through Burrator Wood and fields before heading back along the lane through Sheepstor to the reservoir. A shaded peaceful walk. Option for refreshment afterwards at Royal Oak Meavy. 

Several stiles, some tricky, including a ladder stile. Some of the paths are a bit overgrown in places. Dogs on leads.

Book by text to walk leader.
