Overview

A walk from the Rock at Yelverton (the actual Rock not the pub!) to include footpaths, tracks, fields and quiet lanes to Buckland Monachorum and then back via the Garden House, Crapstone and Axtown.

Likely to be muddy in some places. A couple of tricky stiles, one of which is not dog friendly. Small stream crossing.

Bring a warm drink for our coffee stop and a packed lunch. A seating pad will be useful.

After the walk, there is the option of returning to the Garden House for tea/coffee/cake. The cafe will be open to non-members. 

If you’d like to join the walk, please text the walk leader.

There are several bays along the edge of the old Harrowbeer airfield where you can park. We will meet and start the walk from Yelverton Rock (the real one not the pub).
