アップトンパインでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

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

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.

This is a fine example of a classic Mid Devon village with a mixture of thatched cottages and old farmhouses as well as a 14th century church. Spot the grave of Sir Stafford Northcote, a one-time Chancellor of the Exchequer and the 1st Earl of Iddesleigh, in the graveyard.

This wonderful stone bridge, also known as Lower Creedy Bridge, spans the River Creedy between Newton St Cyres station and the village itself. It has large cutwaters and is mostly made from volcanic stone. Likely built during the 16th century, it remains a lovely local feature.

The River Exe isn't particularly accessible in large sections north of Exeter but this little beach at Brampford Speke is a glorious exception. Located on a wide bend, it makes a lovely place for a picnic or a paddle in the summer. Access it via the footpath to the south of the church.
