South Devon Ramblers

Welcome to walking in South Devon!

JMHT booklet

The South Devon Ramblers, in partnership with other organisations, has created this scenic 35-mile walking trail of beauty and heritage.


This guide provides a detailed directional text, maps of the trail, commentary of local heritage, and a range of other useful information, such as transport links. 

Note: The trail between Coffinswell and Middle Rocombe has been diverted to avoid a dangerous road crossing. We feel that the new route is an enhancement to the trail. The new route is waymarked and the online description available from this website is up to date, however the booklet does not reflect this change and is unlikely to be reproduced in its current format.
