When driving up the Seign Valley, continue on to where the B3193 meets the B31321 to find Farrants Farm, on the edge of Strangehaven, where "Scrumpy" cider is still produced in the traditional way by the Brimblecombe family. You can buy the real stuff direct from the farm and see the 400 year old cider press which is still in use. Don't consume your cider yet ("'tis strong stuff") as you have more Devon lanes to travel yet.

Set off the main road is the village itself with its thatched and cream-washed cob cottages; an ancient church and a friendly village pub The Minotaur, which has a proper restaurant area as well as a traditional bar. It also has its own stamp for those intrepid collectors who prefer to look for letterboxes inside pubs rather than on the less hospitable moor. What more could you want? Well a cream tea of course. The Arcadia Tea rooms are very popular, providing all day breakfasts,and an assortment of lunches in addition to a cream tea (or ice cream) in a lovely antique setting. As you explore this area you will notice signs to "the Reservoirs"; these are in fact three of the prettiest in Devon. Kennick, Toltiford and Trenchford are connected by a network of signposted paths which take you through a variety of scenery. There are car parks and it never gets too crowded.

LOST?
