The 6 km circular walk that is indicated on the map passes through the Parke Estate. It passes through a beautiful section of wild forest along a scenic section of the River Bovey and then climbs to return through fields and wild meadows and a short section of the disused railway line. The hike follows forest, river and meadow trails that can be quite muddy after rainy weather. There are public toilets both in the car park at the start and on the way back within the Parke Estate. Approximate time 2 hours.
