Today Thursday, Gill and I went to Stover Country Park, to map out walks for my Website’s Accessible Walks. We did 2 Level one routes, and a longer Level 3 route. Although it was a very hot day, there was plenty shade courtesy of the trees for most of the time.
There is an arial walkway in the canopy of the trees alongside the lake. With the bird feeder hanging from a tree at the end of the walkway.
I have mapped 3 walks starting from the Rangers Office, one is 0.9 miles around the Lake. Another one around the Lake, and part of the cycle path with a distance of 1.3 miles. The third one was to Newton Abbot, alongside the Canal and railway line, with a distance of 9.7 miles.
We had a picnic salad for lunch, sat alongside the stream running under the bridge in the photo above.
The information board gives details of the journey of the granite, from the quarries around Haytor down to the port at Teignmouth.
We had a very enjoyable day, but very tiring being out in the very hot conditions.
