This is a lovely walk which includes the high moorland of Haytor Down, the forest reserve of Yarner Wood and Lustleigh Cleave, and the pretty villages of Lustleigh and Wreyland. So lots of interest throughout. And on a clear day, the views over Bovey' vale are amazing. It is a 8.5ml circular walk with altitude gain of 1,600 ft. The route is on mixed woodland and moorland surfaces, with around half on very quiet country roads.
