Overview

NOTE CHANGE OF STARTING POINT

The start point of the Umberleigh walk on the 24th March has changed due to a combination of road closures and rail replacement bus. The walk will now start at Chittlehampton Church, parking on Chittlehampton Square, EX37 9QL. Start time remains 9:45. Please be aware that there are 7 or more stiles on this walk.

We will depart Umberleigh station and head through Pitt Wood before crossing fields to reach a lane leading to Chittlehampton. More fields and lanes will bring us to East Stowford and Cobbaton before returning along the river.
