Hiking
Once part of the London and South Western Railway, the route passes the Slade Reservoirs and takes in beautiful views of the Devon countryside.
The path goes between Ossaborough (just east of Woolacombe) to the centre of Ilfracombe. If you have walked between Ilfracombe and Woolacombe on the south west coast path, at four miles long, it is an ideal way to return to your starting point to make a round trip.
