The climb from Chudleigh up to Haldon Forest, a real brute but thankfully beautiful! It's known as Old Exeter Road, presumably the historic route over Haldon from Chudleigh before the A38 was built. Pace yourself as it takes a while, but once past the estate gates and around the corner the last section is gorgeous through the trees, and you may see some of the melanistic (dark-coloured) Haldon deer.
