Leaving the small car park at Holne a long steady ascent via a lane onto Holne Moor with views looking down to Venford Reservoir, followed by a descent to Scorriton, Mill Leat and Burchetts Wood. A steep climb to Hembury Castle, an Iron Age hill fort, and then descending via lanes to the Start. This is a varied walk of open moorland, farm tracks, woodland, riverside paths and lanes. Many good views with a couple of steep climbs.

The 13th century Church of St Mary the Virgin in Holne is notable for its Rood screen, a decorative wooden partition painted with the figures of saints that commonly separates the transept with the knave and its raised wooden pulpit. There is also what local legend suggests is a 1,000-year-old yew tree in the churchyard now hollowed out and standing on five legs, that could pre-date the church. Or the tree could be around 400 years old but is still considered ancient.
