Longer Walks in and around Hennock & Teign Village
Contributed by Local Residents
This primary purpose of this section of the web site is to provide local residents with a means of showing their own 'Photo Essays' depicting what we see around us every day.
This will in turn provide the visitor with a taste of what they can see locally through the eyes of the people who live here.
To view each contributors 'Photo Essay' click the picture this will open the 'Photo Essay'.
Warning: Hennock is surrounded with disused mine workings and great care must be taken if straying from designated paths.
This section is being developed and other walks will be added as they become available.
The Village Hall Committee organise an annual Ranger Led Blue Bell Walk following this route and ending with Tea and Cake in the Village Hall, see the Diary Dates page for the date of the next Blue Bell Walk.
