Route description:
This walk gives a taste of part of the River Barle valley upstream from Dulverton to cross over the old pack-horse bridge called Marsh Bridge. The walk then gains height along an ancient byway with moss-encrusted walls and banks either side. A seat awaits you at the top before an easy walk back to Dulverton along another old byway.
