Farway’s Hidden Heritage
A walk that has some steep sections but generally not too challenging
Detail about the route
This walk is in the quiet, less visited Coly Valley. Starting in the hamlet of Church Green, Farway. SUMMARY: We will follow the East Devon Way along the river. Before walking through the historic landscape of the Netherton Hall Estate. We then climb for views of quiet villages and secluded valleys, before returning to our start. > DURATION: 3 hours* > DISTANCE: 4.8 miles > TOTAL CLIMB: 207 m (along the route) * All route timings are based upon plotaroute.com data and will vary according to the time the group chooses to spend enjoying the views and soaking up the character of the area. TERRAIN The walk has a very gentle section along a stream, but also has a fairly long climb in one section and a steep descent, but it is this that affords the views. FACILITIES There is a walker’s toilet approx. half way around this route. WHAT DO I NEED • Something to eat and drink, there are no shops on this route. • Shoes suitable for walking on uneven ground and weather conditions. (walking boots in wet weather but walking shoes or shoes with a good tread in drier times). • A waterproof jacket is essential in the British climate . • If rain is forecast, waterproof trousers are a good idea, but hopefully they will not be needed. • A warm layer in case its not as warm, or perhaps windier, than you expect. • Sun protection: sun cream, sunglasses and a sun hat.
