National Trust wardens have been improving access to the historic farm, Stowe Barton, near Kilkhampton.
They have been clearing footpaths along existing ancient tracks through King William Wood, to the Coombe Valley.
The trust has established links with Kilkhampton School, and children have been walking the new paths, enjoying learning; through games and with story telling.
Children from Kilkhampton School have recently joined National Trust wardens at Stowe Barton Farm. They have enjoyed an afternoon exploring the nearby woods, as part of an established educational guardianship programme with the Ttrust.
Stowe Barton Farm has a fascinating history dating back over 300 years. Recently taken back in hand by the National Trust, local wardens have been working to improve footpaths and provide better access and links to pathways already established.
New routes connecting Stowe Barton with the nearby coast path and Sandymouth beach are also planned. The school children have been exploring ancient tracks that lead down to King William's Bridge in the Coombe Valley.
National Trust warden Mike Simmonds said: "King William Wood was a brilliant place for the kids to come and see for themselves what they have learnt about in the classroom. The improved access has meant that we could take them to parts of the farm they've never seen."
When finished the trust hopes the paths will provide visitors with new circular walks and improved access to the local countryside.
