It's a short walk from Chagford to the stunning Teign Gorge. Follow the Two Moors Way by the River Teign to the mouth of the gorge. Castle Drogo (National Trust) is high above to the gorge to the north. Whiddon Deer Park is to the south. The popular wild swimming spot Salmon Leaps, Castle Drogo Weir and Drewe's Pool is in between.
To extend this walk to the Teign Gorge, try the Chagford, Teign Gorge and Fingle Bridge Circular Walk.
