Circular route of between 5 and 6 miles in this ever popular location. Varied terrain with fairly gentle gradients. We will be following well maintained paths and tracks, woodland trails (uneven in parts) in the Dartington estate and a short section along a busy road where extra care is needed. Bring a packed lunch to eat on the platform at the well preserved station by Staverton bridge. On this occasion we will miss out the loop to Staverton Church. Choice of tea shops afterwards for refreshments. Toilet facilities available at the starting point, at Dartington Hall and Staverton station.
