ジールモナチョラムでののおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

very overgrown, almost impassable footpaths, and stiles that are inaccessible for dogs

Great you enjoyed your passage via Tucking Mill

A five-star hotel hidden away in the Mid Devon countryside, Paschoe House is stunning to look at. Designed by John Hayward and built in the 19th century, this Grade II-listed house is the second to exist on the estate, replacing a 13th century property nearby. During the Second World War, 75 evacuee children stayed at the house under the care of the Hamlyn family. Today, the luxury hotel hosts guests, weddings and diners. If you're feeling lavish, their afternoon tea is outstanding and will certainly fuel further hiking.

A Grade-II listed stone bridge just outside Zeal Monachorum, Tuckingmill Bridge sits in a tranquil setting. It was likely built in the late 18th or early 19th century and spans the River Yeo (one of several in the area). With moss dappling its stonework, it's a lovely place to pause and admire the water.

Whilst Ashridge Court itself is private and difficult to catch a glimpse of (unless you're attending a wedding at its wonderful restored Great Barn), it's the gate posts which most charm hikers as they pass by. Looking like giant chess rooks, the castellated posts are simply stunning. On several of the estate's gates, hiking along the adjacent footpath and discovering these is like finding a secret garden.

North Tawton is a lovely village with a particularly pretty square. The town hall is a Grade II-listed building dating to the 19th century whilst a mullion windowed house with a gorgeous door dates back to the 16th. A clock tower sits in the middle and was built in 1887. The poet Ted Hughes once called this village his home after buying a house here in 1961 with Sylvia Plath. Hughes continued to live in the village until his death in 1998.
