Lapford to Crediton
A station-to-station walkDevonSouth West England
The views reward the effort. Hilly mid-Devon countryside on byways, bridleways and field paths, with a fair amount of quiet-lane walking. Steep gradients in places, several gates, steps and stiles. Byways can be muddy and prone to flooded sections in winter and though usually fine in drier months.
Lunch: Shops and pubs at Sandford and Morchard Bishop; the Morchard Bishop pub may be closed but the village shop is well stocked with hot food.
Warnings: Steep gradients, steps and stiles. Cattle graze several fields and can be territorial near Merchant's Corner; a couple of gates have to be climbed. Flooded sections possible on the byways between Moor Farm and Swannaton after rain. Can be muddy.
