    Hiking

    One of many River Avons in England, this one runs from Southern Dartmoor’s bleak moorland, down through South Brent and out to the English Channel at Bigbury. The section of the river that runs from the Avon Dam to Shipley Bridge is particularly wonderful, as you can follow the bridle path that hugs the water.
