Sheep above Bishopsteignton From Bishopsteignton footpath 5, which doesn't go through the well-guarded gateway. The sheep have the freedom of two sizeable and very steep fields above the village. How can they not appreciate the spectacular views? One of the pair of lambs in the background has taken to gambolling in a big way.
