Dist:0.2km<br/>Horse manure is on sale at £1 a bag

Dist:0.2km<br/>Taken from a little higher up Downaway Lane, but a similar view to [[996431]]. Footland Lane climbs the head of the valley behind the farm buildings to a tricky junction with the busy lane between Newton Abbot and Barton, which runs across the hillside, its course traceable along tree and bush-lined hedges.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Taken from the same spot on Downaway Lane as [[996410]], a view to the left of that one. The valley has two main arms; the buildings along Footland Lane are in the eastern arm. The nearer dip between fields hides Pitland Lane which climbs the northern arm.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Taken from the bank shown in [[1161811]] looking along the line of St Marychurch Road, which follows this high land between Barton and Milber. The nearest buildings partly hidden in the centre are at Redacres, an industrial unit. Variable scatterings of snow lie around, but they are minor compared to Dartmoor in the distance. On the extreme left is Hay Tor.

Dist:0.3km<br/>A steep lane descending from the ridge road between Barton and Milber to Daccombe.

Dist:0.3km<br/>Looking down a steep field beside Pitcombe Lane (right), from the ridge road between Barton and Milber. On the left is an animal sanctuary. Below is the Daccombe valley.

Dist:0.3km<br/>This area's horse population is considerable. This one is in a steep field near the fork of the two lanes up the hill from Daccombe.

Dist:0.4km<br/>A view from Downaway Lane, a green lane that climbs a ridge behind Daccombe, part of which can be seen on the right. Footland Lane lies in the valley below. The hills form the head of the valley in which the hamlet lies.

Dist:0.4km<br/>Some appropriate furniture on the right (admittedly rather buried in nettles) from which to admire this view over Daccombe. That's a sheep in the next field just beyond the little hut.

Dist:0.4km<br/>A steep, muddy, stony track, probably a torrent after rain.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Many fields in this neighbourhood have stables and other small buildings, and their owners are often in evidence. The access to this particular property is down the steep, and very rough, Downaway Lane, but the view from the parking space (across the Daccombe valley and towards Beacon Hill in the distance) is worth it.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Possibly laying out yet another motocross course with a mini-digger.

Dist:0.5km<br/>This is the panoramic view partly seen in [[996588]], which focusses on the area left of centre. It's taken from the junction of Downaway Lane with the busy ridge road that connects Torquay and Newton Abbot avoiding the congested A380, and looks across South Devon to Dartmoor.

Dist:0.5km<br/>Close to the subject of [[762387]], a thatched cottage in one of a series of small villages south of the Teign estuary.
