This route was planned by komoot.
Start off with a gut busting accent (for those of us that are unfit!). Once it levels off you have beautiful views from the ridge, looking down to the valley. Pit stops at 2 tors along the way, as well as a pit stop at Castle Drogo. (nice National Trust Cafe). As you descent into the woods you will hike along the river. Note, although mainly flat there are a couple of steep step climbs and certain portions of the walk can be a little treacherous in wet conditions. Sure footeedness definately required for this part of the walk. Lots of roots and uneven rocky paths to navigate. Overall a beautiful walk. Would recommend.
