Full description

Torbay HER record (SMR record). SDV361984.

A watercourse running south from Greatpark Lakes is followed by the proposed route for about 500 metres, past Greatpark Lane to Kings Ash Road. This represents part of the water supply from the Westerland Valley which was utilised by the Bishops of Exeter to serve their mill at Paignton. No evidence of culverting was found during fieldwork, however, much of this area comprised rough, neglected pasture, and it is possible that features were obscured by vegetation. The watercourse emanates just south of a silted reservoir and is a continuation of SX86SE/120 (qv).[1][2]
