Overview

Leaving the village of Peter Tavy we make the long steady climb up to Cudliptown Down where on a fine day we are treated to spectacular views over the moor and far down in to Cornwall. Having caught our breath we will then descend via Wapsworthy to Hill Bridge where we will stop for our coffee break. Our route then follows the narrow path alongside a leat and on down to Horndon Bridge, returning to Peter Tavy by lane and footpaths.
