As part of the Lorna Doone Valley Walking Weekjoin the North Devon Ramblers on a seven and a half mile guided walk around Doone Country

Walk will start at the Buttery Tearoom at 10.30am. We visit the beautiful (and romantic) Oare Church, the scene of such drama in "Lorna Doone" and then over to Cloud Farm. From here the ramble will follow Badgworthy Water and up to Malmsmead Hill. This is a hilly walk with 1400ft of ascent, so walking poles recommended.
