Not too challenging but park at the visitor centre in Princetown then take the walk out of the Town following the old railway line towards Plymouth. Kings Tour Quarry is worth a look you can find stone railway tracks and parts of London Bridge carved out but never used... 2010 XS USW

Sorry to hear about your foot ! ouch!

Well if you get to the SW ... Bude is just along the road from Holsworthy and has some lovely beaches, nice food places and is very landrover friendly ...
Thumbs Up

You can park in the town and not have to walk very far, or park offload on in the grass carpark next to the Beach at Widemouth and watch the surfers.


... and look out for a red 110 with a pop top driving in and out of the town at times..... Cool Poppy - TDCI (Puma) 110XS 2.2 - Camper conversion - see the build here - https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic56530.html
