High above the River Barle, Parsonage Down offers lovely views of the surrounding landscapes. The Exe Valley Way crosses the Down and you'll find yourself flanked by sheep fields and the sounds of bleating. To the west lies the open moorland at Old Barrow Down and to the east is the River Barle, cloaked in woodland.
