Look out for an entrance onto a footpath on your right, which follows beside the railway tracks on your left, and the exe estuary on your right. The path is too narrow for cycling but great for walking and running.

short walk around the exe estuary

This is the Railway stop for the barracks opposite and is along the cycle way from Exeter to Exmouth, beautiful surfaces to ride on here so any bike can make the trip between the town and the coast.

Nice flat cycle path. But gets VERY busy with 2 wheeled, 2 legged and 4 legged visitors in the summer months. Watch how you go.

The man who does the ferry has lived a thousand lives - military, merchant seaman, fire service and that's just to start! Also, he has a card machine for crossing, unlike the Starcross ferry which is cash only.

This is a nice place to get onto the river from the canal if you ever kayak/paddle board

Take the Topsham Ferry across the River Exe from Ferry Road in Topsham to Topsham Lock. It takes foot passengers, dogs and bikes. It doesn’t run everyday so check the website beforehand for running times: https://exeter.gov.uk/leisure-and-culture/sport-and-leisure/exeter-port-authority/topsham-ferry/

Exeter Ship Canal is a canal leading from (and beside) the River Exe to Exeter Quay in the city of Exeter, Devon. It was first constructed in the 1560s and was the first canal to be built in Britain since Roman times. It was also the first canal in England to use the pound lock. The canal was built to bypass the weirs that had been erected on the river by the Countess of Devon and later by the Earls of Devon, which prevented ships from reaching Exeter and forced them to unload at Topsham. The canal was enlarged and extended several times over the centuries and reached its present form in the 1830s. The canal basin was also built at that time and became a busy port with warehouses and workshops. Today, the canal is mainly used for leisure activities such as boating, walking and cycling. You can follow the Exe Estuary Trail alongside the canal and enjoy the scenic views of the river and the countryside.
