In early spring 2020, the Archer family allowed public access to 'Steep Fields' in Christow via a footpath known as 'Archers' Walk'.
Christow Community Land Trust and Dartmoor National Park Authority worked with Tom Archer to create a new permissive path through the site.
The land, which was previously farmed, had been allowed to 'wild' over the last ten years, which meant little human contact. Landowner Tom Archer reveals some of the site's history, and explains why Steep Fields has been allowed to develop in the way it has.
Special thanks to Tom Archer and to Corony Edwards for coordinating
