Overview

Starting in Holcombe Rogus, which is situated on the Devon/Somerset border with the town of Wellington to the East and Tiverton to the West, this walk takes in rural farm land and includes the Grand Western Canal. There is some interesting industrial heritage to be seen, in the form of lime kilns with an information board explaining the workings.
