Abbeyford
On the outskirts of Okehampton the walks through this beautiful wood lead you past majestic Douglas Fir trees, through areas of old beech and alongside the banks of the River Okement, and is therefore popular with local people. There are two walks, one of which forms part of the Tarka Trail and follows the river. The other is a circular route and winds its way through the wood.
