This walk near Exeter explores the area around Dart's Farm in Devon.
The farm centre is a popular place to visit with a wide variety of shops selling local produce and animals including alpacas, red ruby cattle and saddleback pigs. It's great for a walk too with a Sculpture Trail, a maize maze, a Farm Walk, a Nature Trail and a Bird Hide.
