    Tips

    November 9, 2022

    Malmsmead is at the very heart of Doone Country right on the border between Devon and Somerset.



    The medieval packhorse bridge and ancient ford cross the Badgworthy River and it is from here that you can easily access the Doone (or Badgworthy) Valley.



    There are public toilets and a tea room here so it makes the perfect place to start and/or finish a walk.



    The hamlet is full of connections to RD Blackmore's 'Lorna Doone', including Lorna Doone Farm and a memorial to Blackmore a short way up the valley.
