The River Erme in Longtimber Woods

Highlight (Segment) • River

The track through Longtimber Woods to Pithill Woods is one of six routes across the national park marked as Miles Without Stiles.

As you might expect, these routes don't feature any stiles, and are designed to be accessible for a whole raft of users, including those with limited mobility, rides of all-terrain powered mobility scooters and families with younger children.

You can start your adventure on Station Road near the Brunel's viaduct and head into the woods following the west bank of the River Erme.

Bring some snacks or a flask of tea to enjoy at the picnic site before turning around to head back.

Pithill Wood

Highlight • Forest

This is a pretty woodland alongside the River Erme, just before it heads through Ivybridge to the south. There are several footpaths leading through it and it’s mainly earth underfoot so it can get muddy in winter. All the woodlands along this stretch of river are lovely and seem to blend in to one another.

The path alternately hugs the river and rises above it, allowing you to admire the Erme from every angle. There are stiles and some steps in this woodland.
