9½ km or 6 miles


1. From the Station Road car park (S), cross the road turning right towards the bridge. At a gap in the railings turn left and follow the tarmac path through Mill Marsh Park keeping the river on your right to the A382 (A) – 500m. 2. Follow the path under the A382 and emerge into the National Trust woodland known as Parke. The path brings you onto the old railway track which you follow for approximately one mile, to cross a newly reinstated bridge over a lane. (B) – 1.7km. 3. After a further 0.5km, the track ends, joining a road. Continue on this road, until you see a post box in the wall on your right and a road junction ahead. Ignore the left turn and continue straight ahead until you see the road sign indicating you are entering Lustleigh (C) – 1.9km. 4. Take the next left turn after the road sign and follow the tarmac path. This path will bring you through Wreyland, passing some pretty thatched cottages to Lustleigh village centre where there is an Inn and tea rooms (D) – 400m. 5. From the cross on the green, keeping the church on your right, walk to the crossroads. Turn left here, signposted Rudge, and follow the road downhill. Cross over a bridge. Take the left fork in the road, following the stream running alongside the road on the left. Continue on, passing the cemetery on the right, until you reach the T-junction. At the T-junction turn left. Follow the road down the hill to the next T-junction, turn left, cross over the small bridge and continue along the road passing beneath an old two arched railway bridge to another T-junction (E) – 1.5km. 6. Turn right and retrace your outward walk as far as the start of the railway path – 0.5km. 7. You can now return to Bovey Tracey by walking back the way you came, along the old railway track, or you can continue under the railway bridge along the lane until the next T junction at Wilford Bridge (B). Turn right, continue up the road until you see two houses on the right, with a kissing gate opposite on the left. (F) Follow the instructions for sections 6 and 7 of walk 1.
