Recommended: Great views of the Exe estuary and Haldon Hills. A largely level, easy walk mostly on paved surfaces and wide wooden boardwalks across marshy ground, following the Exe Estuary Trail (a shared foot and cycle path). There are short narrow sections on Devon lanes with traffic around Lympstone and Exton and a few short steep stretches at Lympstone village. Largely follows the Exe Estuary Trail (signposted route 2). Excellent for birdwatching. The return leg is easy by train or bus as the route follows the rail line, with numerous access points. Goosemoor Nature Reserve lies on the route.

Coastal: almost all along the coast.

Lunch: The villages en route, including Exton and Lympstone, have plenty of options for refreshments.
