Mamhead Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

From Starcross up onto the Haldon Ridge, Mamhead is an Exeter local classic climb. It's fairly gentle to start with, before ramping up through the trees with a few steep corners. Buckle up, this is one of those climbs that seems to just go on, and on, and on...

View of the Sea from Dawlish

Highlight • Viewpoint

The railway line hugs the coast at the bottom of the cliff here at Dawlish and bags the best views of the coast, but the road high above still offers a great vista out across the sea.

Cockwood Harbour

Highlight • Viewpoint

Cockwood Harbour is a small tidal harbour in Cockwood, a village on the western bank of the Exe Estuary in Devon. It is a popular boating spot with a church, pubs and accommodation. Cockwood Harbour is known for the railway line that runs over the narrow strip of land between the harbour and the sea. The line continues to Dawlish, where it follows the coastline and offers stunning views of the water. Cockwood Harbour is part of the Exe Estuary Trail, a cycle and walking route that follows the River Exe and the canal from Exmouth to Dawlish.
