ストークガブリエルでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

On the outskirts of Stoke Gabriel is the dam that separates Mill Pond from the River Dart, which can be walked on at low water. It is a bit slippery and uneven, so be careful! There are lots of water birds to see, eager crab fishermen grab a meal and there is also a café. There is a free car park right by the water, but it is often full in high summer. Either way, it is a great, romantic spot.

At the entrance to the village, take the narrow path up the hill and you will have a wonderful view of the village! Then continue through a small forest directly into the village

The first church was built here in 1086. Even then, the "centuries-old yew tree" was mentioned - its age is now estimated at 1200 - 1400 years. Legend has it that anyone who manages to walk backwards around it 7 times will have one wish granted. In any case, it is a beautiful, ancient tree that looks pretty healthy and that you just want to hug!

Right next to the church, overlooking the river, this small garden is an oasis of peace and ideal for a hiking break The apples are said to be mainly for cider production

Check the opening times. The Shack is definitely closed on a Monday - which probably means you’ll save £6 on the carpark! Gorgeous village… check out the gallery too, next to the Post Office.

Take care riding between these. they are close together.

The community orchard is part of the village. There are several apple trees, a couple of paths and some benches. They hold a Wassail each year to help the harvest :-)

The Yew in the churchyard of St Mary & St Gabriel is thought to be between 1,000 and 2,000 years old. The carved wooden slices are from a Leyland Cyprus, they depict the important church events that would have happened in the last 2,000 years.
