- Terrain:
Terrain: This walk is challenging in places and offers a truly wild woodland experience. Paths are primarily natural earth and stone, often uneven, rocky, and with exposed tree roots. There are significant ascents and descents, particularly if you venture away from the immediate riverside. Expect very muddy and slippery sections, especially after rain, or during autumn/winter. Sturdy, waterproof hiking boots with good grip are essential.
Accessibility: Due to the steep, uneven, and often muddy terrain, this walk is not suitable for those with mobility issues, pushchairs, or wheelchairs. It requires a good level of fitness and sure-footedness.

- Dog Notes:
Dog-Friendliness: Fingle Bridge and the surrounding Teign Gorge are an absolutely spectacular playground for dogs! The ancient woodland, the beautiful river, and the myriad of scents will enthral them. Dogs are welcome, but due to the challenging terrain, steep drops, fast-flowing river, and popularity of the area, dogs should be kept on a lead in busy sections, near steep drops, and whenever livestock are present (less common directly on the main trails but possible in adjacent areas). Off-lead time is possible in quieter, safer sections for dogs with excellent recall and agility.
