Travel Guide

The Avon Dam is a great place to walk up to all year round, parking in a car park & then walk up a Tarmac path all the way up until the road splits. At the fork just before the dam you have a choice; take the Tarmac option to the left which takes you to the bottom of the dam & then a steep ascent up to the top. If you choose the right hand option up the rocky path you reach the top on a less steeper ascent. When you get to the top turn 180 degrees & admire the view over South Devon
