Longtimber Wood, Ivybridge

With the temperatures still in the high twenties, we needed to find another woodland walk, where we would keep cool as we walked.  We have been out to the woods above Ivybridge several times and thought it would make an ideal walk in the shade.

We parked the car under the railway viaduct and walked straight into the woods.  The path took us down to the edge of the River Erme and we walked along this for about half an hour.  The path was good until the last section and it was lovely walking by the fast running river.  There were lots of small waterfalls as the river rushed over large boulders.
