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.

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).

Stage 8 takes us into Exmoor National Park and back to some high ground but mostly it's a riverside walk along the River Barle that is a tributary to the River Exe that flows all the way to the south Devon coast at Exmouth. The route goes over Tar Steps near Hawkridge and has the option of finishing at Withypool or continuing to Exford to stay at the YHA.

A beautiful walk past granite Devon longhouses and open moorland on the edge of Dartmoor. It's recommended to do this walk clockwise as the last footpath is difficult to find going in the other direction.

This is a short, circular walk on established paths around a popular and accessible part of Dartmoor.

Finish with a well deserved pint at the Rugglestone Inn in Widecombe.

This route starts at Bennett's Cross, a moorland cross marking a boundary, then circles an area on Dartmoor, where over many centuries, Tin was mined. Leading onto the Two Moors Way and Grimspound, a well-preserved Bronze Age Settlement, it is thought that the occupants mined in the area. The route then leads through the heart of the mined area, with Headland Warren, another area on the moors where rabbits were farmed. To finish back at the cross, which is near the highest Inn in Southern England, where the fire in the hearth has reputedly stayed lit since the 1800s.

Apart from the high moors, this walk is fairly sheltered from the prevailing SW winds.

It is also part of the national cycle network, offering another option for exploring the area. There is an option to start the walk at a small parking area, see in 'Practical Information'.

The moorland hamlet of Postbridge in itself is always worth a visit, with it's 12th century clapper bridge, believed to have been built by the tinners. Venturing up to see the East Dart waterfall makes the visit to the area worthwhile. The route follows the river upstream to the waterfall, and if conditions are suitable, crosses the river and returns, passing some Bronze Age Settlements. During adverse weather, and if the river is in spate (flood), see Notes.

The Yellow Brick Road is a local nickname for what was once known as Ivybridge Lane, a proposed route linking Princetown and Ivybridge due south. So why call it Yellow Brick? It was simply because, during a period of renovation and moorland management, the authorities used a hardcore dressing coloured yellow.
