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.

Goat Walk

You can cycle along below the goat walk wall "IF" the tide is out. This is ok, as even 4x4 cars sometimes do it. I've done it many times on my MTB
