The Cowshed - Our Recommendations And Favourite Places To Visit
One of our favourite walks is from Castle Drogo (National Trust) https://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/castle-drogo at Drewsteignton, there is the Hunters Path or Fishermans path so you can do a circular walk with The Fingle Bridge Inn on the river half way for a pint or a heart meal or snack. Amazing views from high path and beautiful river walk too.
