Meander together through farm, field and woodland following the beautiful River Teign..There will be stops along the way to rest and appreciate the flora, fauna, history of the river, and a stunning granite sculpture by Peter Randall-Page. We will arrive back in time to join the ’Tranquility Session’ at the community-run, open-air Chagford Pool. These are not usually crowded and involve relaxing, quiet and unlaned swimming. The soft river water that fills the pool is UV treated and filtered with a minimal use of chlorine to keep it sparkling, healthy and safe. We will also have the benefit of the Tea Shed which serves refreshments including home-made cakes and snacks.
This experience is specifically designed for adults with chronic health conditions, and/or who appreciate gentle terrain, easy routes, and peacefulness.
