Old Orchard Caravan Park

Newton Abbot Circular

Loops through Newton Abbot's mix of town paths and riverside stretches along the Leat, mostly flat with gentle inclines through wooded sections. Good for families with older children who can manage a few miles, though some stiles and narrow towpath sections make buggies impractical. Dogs welcome on leads through town areas. Offers a pleasant escape combining urban heritage with waterside nature, ideal for a leisurely half-day explore of this market town's quieter edges.

Templer Way

Follows the historic tramway built by James Templer from Haytor granite quarries down to the Stover Canal, featuring dramatic Dartmoor scenery with moderate climbs through heathland and woodland. Suitable for older children but not buggies due to rocky sections and uneven terrain around the distinctive granite tramway tracks. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. The unusual granite rail remnants and sweeping moorland views make this a fascinating slice of Devon's industrial heritage combined wi

John Musgrave Heritage Trail

Follows the River Dart through woodland and meadows with gentle gradients, making it manageable for families with older children (uneven paths less suitable for buggies). Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Traces the life of Victorian naturalist John Musgrave with interpretation boards along the route, offering a mix of riverside scenery, local history, and wildlife spotting opportunities. Expect some muddy sections after rain and a few stiles.
