of Devon and Exmoor.

West Coast Path on the Exe Estuary to the village of Dulverton on
Exmoor, where you can link up with the Two
Moors Way.

You make your own way to Starcross. We can assist with coach or train transfers if necessary. Car parking is available for the duration of the walk.
Your walk starts at the mouth of the River Exe at Starcross. The Exe Estuary is famous for its bird life. After passing Powderham Castle you walk along the Exe Canal, the first in Britain, until you reach Exeter Quay.
Spend the day exploring Exeter. Visit Exeter cathedral, or the underground passages, the catacombs, or the very fine museum. Guided walking tours are available showing Exeter's Roman past.
Stroll along the winding river through the quaint village of Brampford Speke to Thorverton.
Past the medieval Bickleigh Castle to the very picturesque bridge at Bickleigh. Stroll around Bickleigh Mill and Railway Centre before you leave Bickleigh. A short stroll along the east side of the river through rich woodlands of oak and ash, with violets and early purple orchids, brings you to Tiverton.
The route meanders through the Exe river valley via the villages of Bampton, Exebridge and Brushford. You are in the Exmoor National Park now and may see the spectacular red deer.
Explore the interesting village of Dulverton, then take a foray into Exmoor on a circular walk via East Anstey and the Two Moors Way to Hawkridge.
We can transfer you to your car or station.
