Lustleigh Cleave Walk

Route Description for Lustleigh Cleave Walk

The Lustleigh Cleave Walk is a fantastic outdoor excursion in the eastern portion of Dartmoor National Park that is perfectly suited for a fun family adventure, so long as everyone in your walking party is okay with a few climbs and descents along the way. Setting out from the village of Lustleigh, you will head to the southwest along the road and descend the hillside to cross over the River Bovey. From here, you will make your way to the northwest along the water’s edge and enjoy the peaceful forest setting before climbing back uphill towards the village of Manatan. Here, you will turn north and once again cross over the river, following the path east as it climbs back up the forested hillside on the return leg of the walk back to Lustleigh, where you can spend the afternoon exploring the charming village streets.
