Other walks in the area

Clifford Bridge to Fingle Bridge and Butterdon Down

Departure from Moretonhampstead (Devon)

A wonderful circular walk from Clifford Bridge to Fingle Bridge on a gentle path along the River Teign before heading steeply onto Butterdon Down and descending back to Clifford Bridge. Beautiful woodland views.

Luton - Bishopsteignton

Departure from Bishopsteignton (Devon)

Devon heathland, farmland and woodland, with a pretty village midway.

Haldon Moor

Departure from Bishopsteignton (Devon)

Superb views over the Teign Estuary from the hills above the village, and remnants of a historic Bishop’s Palace.

Stage 6 Devon's Coast-to-Coast : Drewsteignton to Morchard Bishop

Departure from Drewsteignton (Devon)

Stage 6 is a tricky navigational test as we leave the Dartmoor National Park and head into Mid Devon. The route crosses the A 30, the main Exeter to Barnstaple rail line and the busy A 377. There's plenty to keep you occupied and some pretty hamlets to go through (avoiding some interesting villages, so you might be tempted to go off-route at some point).

Stokeinteignhead & Maidencombe

Departure from Shaldon (Devon)

A lovely village and a Brunel memorial, plus dramatic clifftop walking and superb views.

Shaldon

Departure from Shaldon (Devon)

A stretch of coastline, a pretty village at the mouth of the Teign and some pleasant inland farmland.

Stage 7 Devon's Coast-to-Coast : Morchard Bishop to Knowstone

Departure from Morchard Bishop (Devon)

There are basically two parts to the seventh stage; Morchard Bishop to Witherage and then Witherage to Knowstone, both 8 milers and through interesting Mid Devon agricultural landscape. We follow the River Datch for a while to reach Washford Pyne, then follow the Little Dart River. We meet the Ridge and Valley Walk at Witherage and, cross over the A 371.
