From the farmhouse the route follows the footpath north towards Headland Warren Farm. When you reach the stone wall, turn around and head back to the farmhouse. There are examples of mining and terrace farming, some of it going back 1000’s of years.
From the farm we head over Challacombe Down, towards Golden Dagger Mine then on into Soussons Woods.
Soussons Woods was part of the conifer planting project after the two World Wars. Most of this route is on grass, with a couple of sections of stoney track which is a bit rough.
