Park on the road, or try the large free coach/car park behind House of Marbles.

The drive from Budleigh Salterton takes about 40 minutes.

 

We will walk up to Pottery Pond, then follow quiet lanes and tracks in a circular route which joins the Templer Way where we will see some of the granite tramway and original milestones.

 

Bring a flask for a coffee stop. The House of Marbles has a café if you want lunch afterwards (they suggest booking) or just browse the shop and free museums: https://visit.houseofmarbles.com/

 

Please book with the walk leaders, in case we need to cancel due to bad weather etc. We may also be able to help with sorting out lifts. Any time up to 8.00am on the day of the walk is fine.
