Keep going.

There's a ford and a footbridge here, just west of Colyton on the River Coly. The crossings are surrounded by farmland in a blissfully rural setting. The Coly is lazy here, adding to the picturesque nature of the area. The Channel to Channel footpath and East Devon Way both pass by/use the bridge.

An old bridge over the Coly River, on the way into (or out of) Colyford. Some nice views over the river and floodplain to the east.

But you pay with the next climb.

Avoid this section, sticky deep mud and fetid puddles. Take the road

Farway is tucked away in the peaceful surroundings of the Coly Valley and everywhere you look, signs of its past abound. Most notably, Farway’s glorious old petrol pumps are the eye-catching centrepiece of the village. Standing on a raised platform, their faded, chipped state is rather romantic. Looking around the village you might catch yourself wondering if much has changed since these pumps were last in use.

Farway Church sits in Church Green, a couple of miles north west Farway village. This 14th century place of worship is intriguing by itself but it’s the two ancient and veteran yew trees that really capture your attention. The largest of the two has an incredible trunk which has almost plaited itself. Taking a moment to admire these old trees is truly spending time with ancient history. These gnarled trees have seen it all.

This quiet lane hugs the side of Ball Hill and its entire southerly aspect is of the pretty Coly Valley and its patchwork fields. This is the perfect place to stop and admire the undulating, verdant landscape of East Devon, particularly if you’re about to descend to Church Green. Summer covers this valley in shades of green but autumn and winter are both beautiful too, especially if there’s mist hanging below you.

Fascinating inside.

apparently Joan Hickson(Miss Marple) is buried here but we couldn't locate the grave. might be in another cemetery?

Well worth a visit to view the interior.
