1. From the Station Road car park (S), turn right, and cross the bridge over the River Bovey. Continue up the main street to the Cromwell Arms Hotel (A). Turn left then right in front of Cromwell’s Arch and go up Hind Street to the T-junction at the top. Turn left and continue to a right turn for the hospital, Furzeleigh Lane (B) – 750m. 2. Climb steeply up Furzeleigh Land for about ½ km, to find a footpath sign by a gate on the right hand side. Go through the gate and cross the field to the gate on the top side (C). Look back and enjoy the view – 600m. 3. Pass through the gate, cross a track and take the left hand of the two gates opposite (or the stile alongside it). Follow the path along the right hand hedge, ignoring two gates in the right hand hedge, to a gate directly in front of you towards the top of the field where the hedge continues around to the left. Pass through this gate and again keeping to the right hand hedge walk down the field to a stile. Cross the stile and follow the post and wire fence on your left until you are passing a telegraph pole in the end of a hedge and can see some houses downhill to your right (D) – 500m. 4. At this point, leave the fence and drop down the hill to the left of the telegraph pole and hedge and look out for the stile at the rear of the farmhouse. Cross it, go down the steps and turn left through the gate in the wooden fence (shutting it behind you) to walk along the track in front of some farm buildings to the point where the track meets the road, Trough Lane (E) – 200m. 5. When the track meets the road, turn right and follow it up a rise and then down towards Bovey Tracey. Along this stretch there are some lovely views across the town. Continue along this road until the T-junction (F). The Parish Church of St Peter, St Paul and St Thomas (pictured) is just to your left here and well worth a visit – 900m. 6. Turn right into East Street and follow it past the Town Hall, keeping left down the hill to bring you back past the Cromwell Arms and down to the Station Road car park – 700m.
