Exe Estuary Trail

Highlight • Trail

The Exe Estuary Trail is a splendid traffic free path that stretches from Dawlish Warren to Exmouth.

As it is flat and well-surfaced, it is ideal for a family MTB ride, for beginners or for an nice warm up or cool down on a longer route.

The trail passes along the estuary so expect wide riverside views and keep an eye out for wildlife as the trail passes alongside RSPB marshes and the Goosemoor Nature Reserve.
