You can expect to complete this route in about 2 hours and 47 minutes.

Planning your visit is straightforward, with parking generally available in Sidmouth, which serves as a convenient starting point for this circular walk.

Embark on a challenging hike along the Budleigh Salterton & the River Otter loop from Sidmouth, a route that stretches 13.8 miles (22.3 km). You will gain 1485 feet (453 metres) over an estimated 6 hours and 19 minutes, making this a difficult but rewarding journey. The trail offers a diverse experience, transitioning from tranquil river meadows along the River Otter to demanding coastal climbs. Expect to see the dramatic Triassic sandstone cliffs and iconic features like the Ladram Bay Sea Stacks as you make your way along the coast.
Before you set out, be prepared for varied terrain; the River Otter section can be muddy after rain, so waterproof footwear is advisable.
