Cycling
Exmouth is perfectly located to allow cycling to many interesting places, including the Exe Estuary Trail, magnificent coastlines and the countryside of the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Exmouth itself lies on the National Cycle Route Number 2 - a route that will eventually link Dover in Kent with St Austell in Cornwall. In Devon, NCN Route 2 runs along the old Budleigh Salterton/Exmouth Railway line, around a 5 minute cycle to the south of your home. NCN 2 provides a connection between Dawlish, Exeter, Sidmouth and Seaton with Lyme Regis in West Dorset. www.sustrans.org.uk is a good place to find further information.
Locally, there is an easy family cycling path along the former railway line between Exmouth and Budleigh Salterton (about 5 miles/8 km) and from the head of the Exe Estuary along the canal into Exeter (4 miles/7 km). for more information, please visit: www.sustrans.org.uk
