Sanduck Wood

Forest

40.8 km

Having spent the best part of the last 100 years as a garage and workshop, the owners of Cafe 3 Sixty have transformed the building into a wonderful spot for hungry cyclists and passersby yet retained much of its history in the renovation.

An independent cafe, you’ll find a heavy bike theme here and you can even park your two-wheeled steed inside. Outside seating allows for dogs although they’re not permitted indoors due to the open kitchen.

View of the Sea from Dawlish

Highlight • Viewpoint

The railway line hugs the coast at the bottom of the cliff here at Dawlish and bags the best views of the coast, but the road high above still offers a great vista out across the sea.

Cockwood Harbour

Highlight • Viewpoint

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. Cockwood Harbour is known for the railway line that runs over the narrow strip of land between the harbour and the sea. 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.

Riverside Valley Park Cycleway

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Brilliant straight stretch of segregated cycleway with adjacent footway through the Riverside Valley Park nature reserve, managed by Devon Wildlife Trust. A fantastic entry/exit from Exeter City Centre without the traffic and totally flat. Lots of birds to be seen from here too!
