Very good walk with dog easy to follow. Last bit on quiet country lane.

You have to go through shop to get to courtyard.

Scooped some water out, filtered it and a made a coffee.

Thorverton Bridge crossing the River Exe.

A very attractive Devon village.

The Exe Valley railway was operational between the late 1880s and the 1960s and joined Dulverton to Exeter St David's. Passing through a string of small villages, the line was important to the local residents. It was almost entirely dismantled after ceasing operation and sections now hold footpaths. This stretch uses the section of the line as it curved round to Stoke Canon, joining the main Bristol line.

This proud, medieval church stands on the edge of Shobrooke village and, like so many churches in the area, has wonderful views over the rolling, pastoral landscape. The church dates back to the 15th century but the interior is considerably younger, mostly Victorian. If you hike up the lane opposite towards the village centre, you'll find the holy well embedded into a grassy bank on the eastern side.

A 180-acre (73 ha) park, wandering around the grounds is utter bliss. A deer park has been here for hundreds of years and there was also manor house, built in the 18th century. Whilst the house functioned as a school during the Second World War, it sadly burnt down in 1945 and was never rebuilt. Now, the park is sometimes open to the public, with its grand lakes and sweeping vistas. The Devonshire Heartland Way traverses the southern section all year round.
