Overview

This is a circular walk along old tracks, paths and quiet roads. One long, steep climb out of Bovey and a sharp pull at the end! Varied scenically but old England.

Very rural, small habitations on route. Bits of the Dartmoor Way and the Mariner’s Way, finishing with a climb near the Bowerman’s Nose and descent towards Manaton.
