SX8158 : By the Dart Valley Trail

taken 11 years ago, near to Ashprington, Devon, England

By the Dart Valley Trail
By the Dart Valley Trail
This little dip is where, probably at least 25 years ago, a Family Rambling Day picnic was held - I must have a photo somewhere ... The John Musgrave Heritage Trail and the Dart Valley Trail run along the lower edge of the meadow, converging with the carriage drive to Sharpham from which the photo was taken, and which is followed by NCN2. In the background is marshland by the tidal Dart, with hills rising behind.
Dart Valley Trail

A 16-mile route, half of it forming a loop around the lower part of the Dart estuary, and half connecting the loop from Dittisham to Totnes, along the south side of the upper estuary. Much of it also follows the John Musgrave Heritage Trail.

John Musgrave Heritage Trail

The John Musgrave Heritage Trail LinkExternal link is a 35 mile walking trail through parts of Torbay, South Hams and Teignbridge. It was launched in March 2006 in memory of John Musgrave, former chairman of the South Devon Group of the Ramblers' Association, whose generous legacy to the group on his death in 2003 has been used to fund the development of the trail.

The new trail links the existing Dart Valley Trail, Torbay Totnes Trail, Greenway Walk and the South West Coast Path with new sections of path to create a continuous route through South Devon.

It is split into 4 sections ( Maidencombe to Cockington, Cockington to Totnes, Totnes to Dittisham where the trail crosses the River Dart by ferry, and Greenway Quay to Brixham).
