Overview

From Mary Tavy the route will pass Wortha Mill, South Brentor Farm and from near Holyeat Farm we will ascend (short but steep) to the church of St Michael de Rupe (of the rock) from where there are spectacular views. We then need to retrace our steps to near South Brentor Farm, from where we will use a footpath to North Brentor, pass the old station, before returning via Gibbet Hill to Mary Tavy.
