Sticklepath is a quintessential Dartmoor village that lies in the northern boundaries of the National Park.

The village is home to Finch foundry, the last remaining water-powered forge in England, that once made fine tools for West Country farmers and miners.

Hiking

A lovely little village. The walk from here back to Okehampton is primarily unpleasant walking along an A road, so I suggest ending the walk here (public transport is available either to Okehampton or to Exeter).
