Lovely cross country route using a mix of footpaths, bridleways, lanes, and short sections of road walking (with verges). I walked from North Tawton to Hatherleigh, and the first 2 miles were on footpaths following the Devonshire Heartland Way, and it was hilly!...

I walked from North Tawton to Okehampton, and after walking downhill from the middle of the town got on to the Tarka Trail via a weird and narrow turnstile - who's idea was that?? It's short though, and then the route is all quiet country lanes to Okehampton, sometimes with great views, and very peaceful....
Helen Gough
Plenty of quiet Lane walking with just a shortish walk across fields which could have been much much worse considering the amount of rain....

Walk this routeConsidering the amount of rain over the last few days before the walk, the mud was more than manageable and wellies were not necessary at all....

I walked from Lapford to North Tawton, and almost all of it is along quiet lanes, which at the tops of the hills have fantastic views....
Helen Gough
There is no way across the railway where the route suggests, so I have uploaded NorLap3 which uses the road bridge to cross the railway and is more direct...

Walk this routeJust beware the descent before Rocky Hill, it's all loose rocks on a hill & not for the easily trippable....

Before exiting Dartmoor you stop at a lovely village called South Zeal which i was fortunate enough to arrive as they had just started their yearly festival. Stayed for a few days and enjoyed the folksy music and people. From there it's mostly country roads up to North Tawton but it can't be helped with the lack of public footpaths....

I walked this route in the Crediton - North Tawton direction at the beginning of October on a lovely sunny day....
