Smashing walk. Would love it for sure.

What a delightful walk. I really enjoyed that Abbie - thank you for taking me along. Great pathways, superb views, open skies, woods, stream and river - everything a walk should include. Lovely film with fascinatingcommentary.

[@davidwilliams3856]

Nice walk and the pub is also nice.

[@kenhenley7599]

Beautiful scenery and the view from the second look out point was brilliant. Great video...thank you for sharing.

[@AbbieBarnesWILD]

Not half bad huh?!

[@spuddlesm721]

One of my favourite Dartmoor walks! I first did the walk over 20 years ago and still come back when I can. Your right about autumn being the best time as the colours looking down the gorge are magnificent. You can vary the walk slightly by walking to Drewsteignton and follow a path to the gorge from there or keep following the banks of the river going the other way will take you into Chagford

I did it! I got out of the house and walked through beautiful Nature. You've inspired me, and it suddenly went up to 52F here today, and sunny, so out I went. Got some sun, fresh air, and a stunning view as well.

[@AbbieBarnesWILD]

Fab!!! thanks for sharing!

Stunning video Abbie, and nice sentiments at 15min. - Robb

[@rangertom9864]

Hi Abbie Lovely video...I'm the Ranger for the site for the National Trust....we definitely do have otters on the river...check out the footage on the Fingle woods blog, our partnership with the Woodland trust. If you see anything else cool when out for your walk let me/us know. Tom

[@AbbieBarnesWILD]

Hey Tom, thanks so much for commenting and checking out the video. Would love to see otters some day and will defo check out the video. Take care and all the best, Abbie

[@martintaylor4620]

Mmmmm.... walked along the river bank at Fingle in the height of summer. Very busy at the week ends and, because of the tree canopy, no sun what-so-ever. Really cold. I think a spring walk along that high path might be in order though. Thanks for your efforts.

[@kwoody1986]

Looks like a lovely walk Abbie. Haven't been around that area yet, I must go down there for a walk. Take care cheers Karl

[@colinfigures]

Definately best done in the winter when there's less leaves on the trees for views down into the valley.

[@somerandomguy2073]

Beautiful walk. I really need to get into hiking. The furthest I ever walk is a mile to the nearest TESCO, hah. You've really inspired me. Thank you. :)

[@patrickmoore2031]

Thanks Abbie. Nice bit of trail. Parts reminded me of the Ozarks in Arkansas. And you’re right about us and nature. Humans and lichens have a common ancestor back there somewhere.

[@minimobilereview6570]

Go on Abbie still at it I see.. me and the mrs managed to do the Wolds Way last june and we are planning another for springtime this year.. I always watch your vids not just for entertainment and factual info but also you really inspire me to plan my own trips to get out there and see our beautiful British countryside x all the best for 2018 x p.s loved the trout info, also it would be really cool if you could ever upload gpx data for your routes...

[@karenhatton7058]

Did this walk today it was stunning even in the rain.

[@philparker97]

I did the walk in September (17), but you had better weather than me! Although I did it the other way round starting rom the castle and finished with a visit of the castle, which was ok and will be better when it's finished, no doubt? Brought back memories, well filmed!

[@wellsgb1957]

Great stuff👍🏻

[@KatandDogs]

We are planning on doing this walk in 2 weeks. Hopefully we can get a good video from it too. You are so natural on the camera. Has it been easy for you from the start? I'm hoping I can learn to be a bit less self conscious.

[@tothemoon4770]

Another outstanding video massive shame you didn’t get to see it after that walk looked very steep

[@MrOj53]

Stay Wild!! :-))

[@tom2324]

That reindeer moss looked like a lichen

[@shirleyc285]

Lovely place, we went there last summer, was a few others about though

[@AbbieBarnesWILD]

Sure is a beautiful area. Got to love Dartmoor!

[@jamestremlett9491]

What's the river Tyne doing on Dartmoor?! Try 'Teen' or even 'Ting' if you wanna go full on Devonshire!

[@davedevonlad7402]

TEIGN not bloody "Teen" or "Ting" the river goes to Teignmouth "Teen" or "ting" is not even a word we use in Devon (not normally anyway) Take that from a local lad who is a 4th generation Devonshire lad. Born in Exeter. If you want to go Devonshire DO NOT use "teen" or " ting" as someone from Devon will think you are completely bloody stupid.

[@stephenpinder1903]

Amazing video. Can't wait till next Monday. What are the yellow-flowered bushes along the top of the ridge? They appear to be very winter-hardy.

[@Chooibah]

Stephen Pinder I can't be sure without knowing the timestamp but I think you're referring to Gorse. It flowers all year (although much less in autumn and winter), the flowers smell like coconut and are edible, they taste like almonds (albeit slightly bitter). They are very hardy bushes, and really spikey, you'd have a job to get out of one if you fell into it!!

[@stephenpinder1903]

Thanks Chooibah. I was guessing it might be gorse but the ones I've seen watching the Open Championship have purple flowers. I thought it was possible there could be different varieties. I wish we had some in my part of the States. They really brighten up the winter and I'd like to have a smell and taste as well.

[@AbbieBarnesWILD]

Hi Stephen, yup, gorse! I did present a piece about these flowers but kept it out of the edit - opps!

[@torbaggermaxpiper]

Stunning views, You've now bagged Sharp Tor and Hunter's Tor :) Have you heard of peakery, a free easy website for documenting all the tors and hills you visit? Anyway thanks for sharing, ATB Max

[@AbbieBarnesWILD]

Ooo, I shall have a look!! Thanks of watching!

[@terrystephenson7639]

Doesn't it make everyone mad that all this freedom to roam ...n .wildlife interest. ..is up to landowners .....freedom what freedom

[@Sam-ch9mn]

Terry Stephenson So much of our countryside is open for public access, along with 100,000 miles of public footpath network in England. Not sure we have a problem with freedom of access on huge areas of the country’s privately owned land and any visit to national parks shows how popular they are too.
