Description by the author

Dart Valley Trail: along the River Dart from Totnes to Dartmouth. Make your route circular with ferries at Dartmouth, Dittisham and Totnes. The Dart Valley Trail is some 16 miles long and takes in both sides of the River Dart in South Devon. The Greenway to Kinsgwear section is 4.5 miles long and goes through ancient woodland alongside the river. It's a lovely walk, with some stunning views...and lots of wildlife.
