From the church steps walk down Silver Street. Follow the lane to reach The Square, off which lanes run in several directions.

Cross the road, turn left and then bear right up Tip Hill (Sidmouth Road), passing through a cutting at the top (there is a pavement on the left).

At the brow of the hill turn left along Longdogs Lane, passing houses and eventually the primary school. The lane drops downhill to a crossroads.

Turn right on a signed bridleway between high hedges. Pass through two bridlegates; the path broadens to a track, passing through a bridlegate by Knightstone Cottages. Keep left at a rounded fork, soon dropping down a track to meet a drive at Knightstone Manor. Keep ahead, with a wall left, across a stream and through iron gates onto a lane.

Turn right and follow the lane to a T-junction. Cross with care, bearing right, and pass through a kissing gate on a footpath. Follow the track along the lower right edge of a field. Eventually pass through a metal gate and drop to a footpath junction.

Bear right and go through a wide gateway (yellow arrow). Keep along the right field-edge to go through a gate and up steps into woodland. The River Otter can be seen left. Follow the narrow path, later climbing steps into a field via a small gate, and turn left.

At the next gate turn left, and descend overgrown steps along the left edge of a rough field, towards a gate/footbridge. Cross over and follow a narrow path through Indian balsam and willow, eventually on to an embankment. Turn right along the bank, which curves left to a kissing gate onto the B3174, opposite the derelict mill.

Cross with care and turn left. Just before St Saviour’s Bridge turn right on a tarmac footpath along the riverbank, to the drive of The Tumbling Weir Hotel. Cross over to pass the weir and information panel, then follow the tarmac path along the leat. Turn right on the first bridge. Keep ahead, bearing left past the playground and right at the next junction to meet Canaan Way, opposite Hind Street. Cross over, and where Hind Street bears right towards The Square, turn left along Saddlers Lane. Turn left to return to the church.
