The Exe Valley railway was operational between the late 1880s and the 1960s and joined Dulverton to Exeter St David's. Passing through a string of small villages, the line was important to the local residents.

It was almost entirely dismantled after ceasing operation and sections now hold footpaths. This stretch uses the section of the line as it curved round to Stoke Canon, joining the main Bristol line.

Very good walk with dog easy to follow. Last bit on quiet country lane.
