AONB Walk 3 Stockland
Situated in the stunning Yarty valley in East Devon’s Blackdown Hills, an area of outstanding natural beauty. The route starts close to the impressive 13th Century grade 1 listed Church of St Michael and travels through pastoral valley farmland, quaint villages and visits the remains of two prehistoric locations; the earthworks of the great castle and the remains of the embanked enclosure at little castle.
This is a figure of eight walk of moderate difficulty with uphill road sections, often wet underfoot through fields after heavy rain. Gates to pass through, no stiles, some uneven ground to negotiate.
