View of Colyton Viaduct

A cracking view of the Cannington Viaduct from here. This Grade II listed structure dates back to circa 1900 and is built from concrete. It's a disused railway viaduct, and the third arch from the west end has been reinforced by an infilling of brick.

The Axminster and Lyme Regis Light Railway was authorised in 1899, built from 1900 and opened in 1903.

Cannington Viaduct

Highlight • Bridge

Stunning viaduct that majestically reveals itself as you take a turn in the road

Grassy Fields and Woodland Double Track

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Starts off on open grassy fields and track gets better as it drops into woods. Follow the well defined double track to the right halfway down in the woods and not BW into field. It links back to BW and means you don't need to negotiate gates and grassy field.

View of Cannington Viaduct

Highlight • Monument

Built around the turn of the 20th century, Cannington Viaduct once carried trains along the branch line to Lyme Regis. Now, this ten-arch span is a beautiful relic of times gone by. From Woodhouse Lane on the East Devon Way, Cannington Viaduct lies to the south and is easy to miss if you’re not looking for it.

If you want to get up close, you can walk south along a lane which runs right underneath it. There’s also a footpath on its south side, should you want to explore further around its base.

Prescott Pinetum

Highlight • Natural Monument

Prescott Pinetum (also known as either Uplyme or Woodhouse Pinetum) .
The majority of the mature trees are dated to the 1840s-1860s when they were planted by the then owner of Woodhouse; the majority of the species originate from the Americas.
