This walk is based around the so-called Swan’s Neck section of the Grand Western Canal at Halberton. More than half of the route is on flat canal towpaths, and the remainder crosses gently undulating countryside on quiet lanes and tracks. 

 

Optional lunch at the Swan’s Neck cafe beside the farm shop in Halberton
