PUBLIC FOOTPATHS AND BRIDLEWAYS
Four local circular walks on
definitive paths are described in detail in beautifully illustrated leaflets
obtainable from the Post Office and Woodbury Hardware at £1 for the set of
four. The walks are:
1. Toby Lane,
Walkidon’s Way and Castle Lane.
2. Bonds Lane,
Pilehayes and Woodbury Salterton.
3.
Gillbrook, Ham Lane and Exton.
This path has recently been upgraded, with gates
replacing stiles, making it accessible to the less agile to enjoy this level
pleasant stream-side walk.
4. Cottles Farm,
Rushmore Farm, Woodbury Castle and Castle Lane.
Other routes include Broadway to
Bridge Pitt Farm, and Fairfield to Bonds Lane.
There are ten more scheduled bridleways on Woodbury Common which are
sometimes difficult to distinguish because of numerous other tracks.
Under the Commons Act of 1970, the public has right of access for “air
and exercise” over all 2,800 acres except MOD enclosed areas and some
plantations.
Devon County Council unclassified
roads include:
A. Rydon
Mill to Exton, parallel to the western end of Footpath 3.
The Exton end is under water in all but the driest seasons but the
Woodbury end may be entered over a narrow footbridge from the field path.
B. Moor
Lane (Bonds Lane to Postlake) is very prone to flooding and Wellington boots are
advised for much of the year.
C. Walkidon’s
Way via Hogsbrook Farm to the Beacon is the oldest remaining Anglo-Saxon track
in the area, although badly damaged by heavy vehicles in recent years.
Good surface, open all year.
The Footpath Warden is Mrs Jane
Tucker 232834 who will help with problems and queries.
