Food lovers and walkers are in for a real treat on 4th June at the inaugural ‘Gourmet Food Walk’ in Kilmington, East Devon.
The leisurely walk is a great chance to explore the picturesque Devon countryside. Just over halfway along the route walkers will be rewarded with breathe-taking views for miles around.
Of course what makes the walk so special is the inclusion of food and drink from East Devon and Dorset. Walkers make several stops for refreshments and entertainment; at each is a delicious course of a meal prepared by cooks from the local area.
