Cockwood Harbour is a small tidal harbour in Cockwood, a village on the western bank of the Exe Estuary in Devon. It is a popular boating spot with a church, pubs and accommodation.

The line continues to Dawlish, where it follows the coastline and offers stunning views of the water.

Exeter Ship Canal shared path

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The tarmac option following Exeter Ship Canal from the Swing Bridge near Countess Wear, there's also a parallel gravel road through Riverside Valley Park that's accessible by bike if you fancy. A smooth and flat run into town or out, but take care as pedestrians and cyclists share the path here and it can become busy at peak times.
