Trinity Hill Nature Reserve

Highlight • Natural

Wide, fast and dusty (ok, at least in the dry) gravel roads through forestry plantations and onto lowland heath, a gravel rider's heaven? Pass the log stacks for the undulating trail and out onto the lowland heath nature reserve to the north.

The heathland provides a crucial habitat for many species of moth, including true lovers knot, peppered moth and the drinker. In warmer, sunnier weather you might also spot lizards sunbathing or dashing between the heather and grass. In the late summer, keep your eyes peeled for linnets, which although in national decline, are thriving on Trinity Hill.

Trinity Hill nature reserve was awarded Dark Skies Discovery Site status in 2015, which means it's perfect for stargazing without too much light pollution.

For more information about the nature reserve, which is managed by Wild East Devon visit: eastdevon.gov.uk/wildeastdevon/wild-east-devon-nature-reserves/trinity-hill-local-nature-reserve

Old Drovers Road

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Great little section of B'day. Best ridden in this direction, but rideable in opposite direction if you like short steep climbs

Prescott Pinetum

Highlight • Natural Monument

Prescott Pinetum (also known as either Uplyme or Woodhouse Pinetum) .
The majority of the mature trees are dated to the 1840s-1860s when they were planted by the then owner of Woodhouse; the majority of the species originate from the Americas.

View of Cannington Viaduct

Highlight • Monument

Built around the turn of the 20th century, Cannington Viaduct once carried trains along the branch line to Lyme Regis. Now, this ten-arch span is a beautiful relic of times gone by. From Woodhouse Lane on the East Devon Way, Cannington Viaduct lies to the south and is easy to miss if you’re not looking for it.

If you want to get up close, you can walk south along a lane which runs right underneath it. There’s also a footpath on its south side, should you want to explore further around its base.

Uplyme Watermill

Highlight • Structure

With an old thatched roof and a stunning watermill, this is an incredibly picturesque spot on the River Lim. Dating back to the 18th century, this watermill is no longer in use, but was once fed via a leat by the Lim. This mill also sits on the Devon side of the county border; take just a few steps downriver and you’ll find yourself in Dorset.

It might be the last watermill in Devon, but there’s a working watermill downriver in Lyme Regis.
