Linking the farm at Dalditch to Shortwood Common and up to Hayes Wood, these two mucky dirt lanes are great fun on either a gravel bike or mountain bike. Although not a bridleway, the track is open for public access, according to online right of way information.

Up the rutted lane and onto Bear Lane, you'll pass fields on either sides, with views of the East Devon coastline. It's pretty mucky here when wet - be warned!

You'll also pass by a few fields that are owned by the Clinton Devon Estate for the Dalditch organic dairy herd.
