    Hiking

    At the end of the paved road up from Shipley Bridge you get a fantastic view of Avon Dam. You have to cross the River Avon just before you get to the dam, but it's all paved and easy going.

    The dam was constructed in 1957 to supply drinking water to the growing population housed in the towns in South Devon.

    It's best to visit after lots of rainfall to see the overflow in all its splendour!
