PLEASE NOTE there is livestock grazing on this common, dogs are welcome but under strict control and preferably on a lead.

A nice easy one to start, even a resting place for you. Great views across the Burrows from here and a view of a section of the Royal North Devon Golf Course.

Cache is a cammoflage bison container so please bring a pen with you.

Stealth may be required as this area is popular with muggle dog walkers and golfers especially on sunny days.
