Overview

This is almost a figure of eight. Into Chillaton then we follow footpaths with a bit of road to Borough and on to Warracott. We then make our way along the valley to the beautiful Sydenham House and up through the woods to Dippertown finally weaving our way back through Lee Woods to our cars. There are a couple of steep climbs.

Parking is by the church, car sharing is encouraged.

We follow footpaths, lanes and woods on this beautiful Spring walk.
