From Sticklepath to Belstone (you can't miss it!)
"From Billy Green, follow the path onto the banks of the River Taw and cross the river using the footbridge. Turn right and go through another gate. Soon the path forks - take the right fork. Walk along the well defined footpath with the River Taw on your right. Cross a stile and continue on the same footpath through Skaigh Woods.
After approximately a quarter of a mile cross a footbridge and follow the path as it bears right until you meet another path through the woods. Turn left here, walk 200 yards and the path divides again. Take the left fork, going down a slope, and cross another footbridge. Turn right immediately after crossing the bridge and follow the path right next to the river. Cross some rocks and pass through some trees, also crossing a stream. After crossing a second stream, follow the path straight ahead for a short distance, before taking another path which climbs away from the river to the left. After a short climb, turn right and follow the track, with the river now below you and to your right.
Continue along this path for nearly half a mile until it descends to the river. Cross the river via the footbridge to your left and follow the path as it bears to the left and then to the right. Climb the hill and you will come to the village of Belstone" |
