We left the car at the National Trust at Parke and walked uphill and then through the woods. The route then goes along a country lane to the little moorland village of Lustleigh. Once upon a time the trains came here on their way to Moretonhampstead, but the line closed in the 1950s. The approach into the village is similar to reaching a village in Spain, but with thatched roofing. We visited the church and then sat on a seat outside to eat our pasties. Returning by the same route to start with we then walked along the old railway track, back towards Bovey Tracy, where it has been cleared as a footpath and cycle way. A further section is now being cleared to provide a bridleway/footpath/cycle track which will eventually link Bovey to Moretonhampstead again.
