April 24, 2021April 24, 2021 / devondaze / Leave a comment

While the paths that run alongside the Exe are well known and used from the quay to to the sea, it is still possible to find quiet sections to enjoy all by yourself! This walk begins on Glasshouse Lane in Countess Wear. Free parking is available in residential roads and around the shops and there … Continue reading Estuary Escapade

Strolling to Sandy Bay

April 15, 2021April 15, 2021 / devondaze / Leave a comment

This 5km walk has a lot going for it - easy parking, loop route, stunning views, dog friendly and refreshments available. As it is over sand and along cliff paths it would be a real challenge for wheels or anyone with mobility issues. Starting at Orcombe Point in Exmouth, you are limited by tide times. … Continue reading Strolling to Sandy Bay

Lydford Gorge Easter Trail

April 8, 2021April 8, 2021 / devondaze / Leave a comment

Lydford Gorge is managed by the National Trust and is always a magical place to visit. There are gorge walks, woodlands, an old railway track and of course waterfalls to discover. Well signposted from the A386 (off the A30 near Okehampton) there are 2 entrances. Closer to Lydford Village is the Devil's Cauldron Car Park, … Continue reading Lydford Gorge Easter Trail

Knights Farm Loop

November 15, 2020November 19, 2020 / devondaze / Leave a comment

This walk is a really decent circular route with fantastic views in every direction. It's probably around 6km but there are options for making it longer. Whilst the paths the whole way round would be OK for a big-tyred buggy, there are stiles and gates that would make this hard work. Start at the fabulous … Continue reading Knights Farm Loop

Culm & Cake

July 3, 2020July 3, 2020 / devondaze / Leave a comment

This fabulous walk is so accessible, yet tucked away. The M5 runs so close to the river and yet none of the drivers would know they're passing such a fun spot! The riverside fields are accessible from both Cullompton and Stony Ford, either side of the motorway, with free parking available at both ends. From … Continue reading Culm & Cake

Squabmoor Reservoir

July 2, 2020January 3, 2021 / devondaze / Leave a comment

This wonderful spot of calm and tranquility is hidden away on the Pebblebed Heaths. Often known collectively as Woodbury Common, Squabmoor is nearer to Dalditch and Budleigh Commons. Squabmoor has its own free car park, found by taking the turning off the B3179 that is signed for a resevoir. You will pass Bystock Pools on … Continue reading Squabmoor Reservoir

Cycling the Tarka Trail – Braunton to Instow

July 1, 2020July 1, 2020 / devondaze / Leave a comment

This section of the Tarka Trail is a great family bike ride as it is very flat and completely traffic free. There is parking available in Braunton, Bideford and Instow, as well as refreshments and facilities at various points. The route we took was just under 20km each way. We parked in Braunton at Velator … Continue reading Cycling the Tarka Trail – Braunton to Instow

Peak Hill is located just outside Sidmouth and is managed by the National Trust. It incorporates some of the South West Coast Path and links to many other public footpaths in the area. You can start your walk from above Jacob's Ladder beach and park in the main Sidmouth car parks, or in the metered … Continue reading Peak Hill, Sidmouth

Blackingstone Rock

June 6, 2020June 8, 2020 / devondaze / Leave a comment

This solitary outcrop is a good 'starter tor' for those just setting out in their Dartmoor discoveries, or it can be a good way to get your rock fix without having to venture onto the high moor when time is tight. Blackingstone Rock is located above Doccombe and close to the beautiful reservoirs of Tottiford, … Continue reading Blackingstone Rock

Cycling the Granite Way

May 27, 2020May 27, 2020 / devondaze / Leave a comment

This 16km (each way) traffic-free cycle route runs along a disused railway line from Okehampton to Lydford. We have previously done a shorter section from Okehampton to Meldon quarry, and you can read about that here. Obviously, you choose to start and finish where you like but we find Okehampton an easy place to park … Continue reading Cycling the Granite Way
