Exton Bridleway

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Brilliant linking way from the Exe Estuary path at Exton up towards the village of Woodbury. It's a single lane-width track that's rough in places, so better suited to gravel, cross and MTB rather than road bikes. There's also a few little splashes to navigate, although there are bridge alternatives. Look out for the dairy cows as you go!

Exe Estuary Trail

Highlight • Trail

Lovely bit of traffic-free path between Topsham and Exton on the way to Exmouth seafront.

Well surfaced and ideal for any type of bike as well as walkers and runners. Be mindful of other users, especially when it's busier at the weekends and holidays.
