アイルズベアでののおすすめランニングルート

Beacon Camping is still there. £10/night. Running water, composting loo, and beautiful views.

Great coffee shop and 'pitstop' - tools and air were kindly available. Good for camping / glamping along the East Devon Way and South Coast cycle routes. www.bowhayesfarm.co.uk

No longer operating, closed.

A lovely place for a family cycle, challenging in some parts for small children and the uphill is in places brutal, but you can push.

Home made hot soups being served over the winter.

great coffee and cake (farm shop, not strictly a cafe)

Nearly Wild Camping site, open from the beginning of May to end of October. The site is car free, with a tap and compost loo, and you'll need to take your recycling and waste with you when you leave. On site, there's fresh vegetables and sometimes eggs available to buy, and the eight pitch campsite is suitable for hammocks as well as tents. Situated on a 5 hectare Market Garden, camping pitches are a 200m walk from site entrance and parking, on a small hilltop meadow amongst mature and young trees. There are great views over the surrounding countryside, but it's also secluded. The site is just 5km from the Jurassic Coast and also close to the East Devon Pebblebed Heaths with the RSPB Venn Ottery reserve and East Devon Way hiking trail close by. The River Otter is just 400m away with waterside paths and potential to see beavers, otters, Egrets and kingfishers as well as other birdlife. Price: £9 per person per night. Children £4. Under 5’s free. Hikers/Cyclists £7. See more at https://www.instagram.com/beacon.camping/ or contact Mole (Jason) Cole on 07425155345.

Great stop for a coffee and cake. Amazing bacon too.

A large area of habitat-rich heathland, woodlands and streams, Aylesbeare Common is a wonderful place for hiking. It’s an RSPB nature reserve and is buzzing with life during spring and summer, when butterflies, birds and dragonflies fill the air. Dartford warblers and nightjars are resident here along with plenty of other wonderful birdlife. Walking here in autumn is magical thanks to the flowering heather. The common is awash in purple and the lower light casts beautiful colours across the whole area. If you’re lucky, you might glimpse a hobby flying above.

Heathland, woodland, streams and ponds make a haven for wildlife at RSPB Aylesbeare Common, where you can find yellowhammers, dartford warblers, tree pipits, stonechats and nightjars, depending on the season. These commons form part of the East Devon pebblebed heathland, an ancient lowland habitat that was formed 235 million years ago as a desert riverbed.

For a quiet slice of the East Devon pebblebed heath, visit the small nature reserve at Venn Ottery Common. Be aware that the boggy tracks and footpaths can get very wet underfoot, especially in winter. Despite being relatively small, some 40 species of birds breed here, and four of the six British reptiles can also be found on the common: adders, grass snakes, common lizards and slow worms. Keep an eye out for nightjars on summer evenings, as well as stonechats and Dartford warblers as they perch in the gorse bushes.
