One of Devon's long-distance walking routes is the Exe Valley Way, covering 45 miles between the estuary at Starcross and the highlands of Exmoor. As it passes through the City of Exeter, the Exe Valley Way acts as a useful link between town and country.
This walk is based on the Exe Valley Way in Exeter, linking it to the western skyline overlooking the city. It is entirely on surfaced lanes and paths, making it ideal for the weather conditions of winter and early spring.
Theme: City,
Special Interest: Historical,
Area: Exeter.
Facilities along route: Exeter Quay (pub, refreshments, toilets, shop); Nadderwater (pub); Exwick (pub, shop).
The walk has one long but fairly gentle climb; no stiles. It is entirely on surfaced lanes and paths, making it ideal for the weather conditions of winter and early spring.
There is car parking at the Cathedral and Quay Car Park
Exeter is easily reached by bus and train. Much of the walk is close to bus routes.
