Description

The area around Christow is a mixture of habitats. The village area, woodland, open farmland often surrounded by 'devon hedges', a younger area of woodland (press STAR on map) that frequently has a number of Roe Deer (Capreolus capreolus) and very narrow roads. Away from the village you are very unlikely to meet any vehicles or people.

Access

From the South (A38 - Devon Expressway) use the B3193 heading North signed Teign Valley, this road on the valley floor follows the River Teign, unfortunately roadsigns are infrequent, on nearing Christow look for The Artichoke Inn sign on the left, turn here to enter village. The circular route indicated on the map is about 3 miles.
