Leading from Haldon down the hill towards Exeter to Kenn, this is a great linking cycleway that takes you down to the old main road (a fab twisting descent). As a climb from Kenn, it's a lovely quiet way to reach Haldon MTB trail centre without being too steep, making for a fab loop from the village which you can conclude with the St Andrew's Lane descent. Great views over Exeter from up here.

Haldon Forest Park opened the new start to the red trail in mid December 2023 and it's fantastic. It's packed gravel with berms at the start, then splits in two. Take the right 'short cut' to cut the entire red in two (or take it to ride back to the start and do the new section again) or stay left to carry on along the new bit and then get onto the usual red. This new section is nowhere near as challenging as the main red, but it's super fast and fun. As it spits you out on the fire track after a short distance, it's great for kids too, who can have a great time on this punchy gravel but bail before the red gets hairy. The way it's set up means it's easy to only do this bit, ride back to the start, and do it again and again.

Great little hire shop. £20 for 4 hours and decent bikes for the trials around the forest. Don't forget ID

Spicers Trail is a blue graded bike trail to the east of the main hub at Haldon. It's a well-made gravel trail, designed to be a bit more technical than the easy Discovery Trail but still easy to ride and suitable for hybrids and touring bikes. Some sections are narrow and twisty but never steep.

Nice and very cycle friendly cafe at Haldon Forest. Plenty of outside bike storage, picnic benches etc as well as indoor seating. Good simple menu for food, snacks, and drinks. Perfectly positioned to ride from here on the surfaced trails of Haldon or to include it as a stop in a longer loop. Open every day.

Old Badlake House, a historic building in Dawlish, Devon. It is a cob house that dates back to the 18th century or earlier. It has a thatched roof, two pointed gabled dormers, and a doorcase with pilasters. It is listed on the National Heritage List for England as a Grade II building.

Viewpoint near the Coastguard Footbridge, which crosses over the railway line near Dawlish station. It offers a great viewpoint of the sea and the coast, as well as the new sea wall that was built to protect the railway from storm damage.
