This gentle 2 hour walk takes you along the river Otter to Tipton St John then returns via Venn Ottery church and its Saxon tower , Harpford Common and a large orchard. If it's sunny you can check the time using 'Venn Ottery SolarTime'. Venn Ottery ( wetland near the Otter) was once more important then Tipton. Look out for Venn Ottery Barton , a farmhouse dating back to the mid 16th century. Not surprisingly, the countryside it traverses is known as an AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty). Wellies after rain are recommended.
