23 Jan 2023Loved this route! Looking forward to doing it again in the summer and stopping off for a vegan roast (one of two options!) at the Tucker Arms in Dalwood.

23 Jan 2023Great route! Everyone in Honiton and Axminster should give it a go!
Thoroughly enjoyed walking it and will stop in at the Tucker Arms (in Dalwood) for the vegan roast next time.
Nothing to add on Helen's review.

29 Aug 2022 (edited 28 Jan 2023)This is a fantastic walk through the Blackdown Hills AONB. There are times when there are stunning views in every direction, views of green rolling Devon countryside.
I walked from Axminster and it starts with a section walking along a quiet lane, before walking through meadows alongside the River Yarty. This is easy, flat peaceful walking. Make the most of it, as this section is followed by a steep climb, and it is hilly from there on. Of course, the hills bring the big views, so the effort is worth it.
There is a lot of lane walking, but all the lanes are quiet, and for winter walks, lanes can be a relief from the mud. Not that there was any mud today, we're in drought, but I'm sure there will be in winter.
There is a pub in Dalwood, roughly half way through the walk, but there are no other facilities outside of Honiton and Axminster. Public transport between the 2 towns is excellent with trains and buses.
