Description
A walk from the town of Modbury along footpaths and green lanes crossing farmland and sometimes crossing springs and small shallow rivers (wear suitable footwear).
(1). Leave the long stay car park in Modbury (fee payable), heading South passing through the Health Care car park, eventually crossing the ancient Mill Leat look out for Bergeronnette des ruisseaux here. Continue heading South on a narrow road and then back on a footpath that goes uphill across fields towards Little Modbury Farm (or The Lugger's Farm).
(2). After passing Little Modbury, with views of Dartmoor in the far distance to the North, look for Buse variable, Faucon crécerelle, Grand Corbeau and the occasional Milan royal. In Winter Faucon émerillon are regularly seen, with Fauvette à tête noire, Hirondelle rustique and Fauvette grisette during Summer. Continue heading West and briefly rejoin the road, going over a style and down steps to walk along.
(3). Rogues Roost, so called because it was the haunt of highwayman apparently. Chardonneret élégant and Bruant jaune are common here, listen out for the 'cronking' of Grand Corbeau and flight song of Alouette des champs overhead.
(4). On passing Cottlass Farm turn right onto footpath that follows the Ayleston Brook back to Modbury.
(*). Alternatively continue on Rogues Roost (marked with STAR on map) eventually turning right to join Runaway Lane back to Modbury.
(5). In Modbury at St George's churchyard, look for broken snail shells, evidence left behind by the local Grive musicienne.
