IDE WALKS
A MODERATE WALK DOWN FOOTPATHS
Saxon Bridge & Alphin Brook Valley
A typical narrow tree-lined country road overlooking the valley on the north side of the A30. Picturesque Clarks Pond is at the bottom of the track, before the footpath rises to meet the road that goes through the A30 subway.
Long hill and steep decent
Round The World
Hilly, but with the reward of wonderful views. Land saturated by wet weather creates mini waterfalls along Fordland Bottom and wild garlic abounds in season. College Lane can be very slippery in wet weather.
HILLY COUNTRY LANES
College Lane & Scratch Face Lane
Views are wonderful, east across Exeter and beyond, south towards Haldon forest and west over Perridge Estate and woodlands.
Not difficult, wheelchair accessible

A typical mix of Devon thatched cottages and newer infill buildings. The picturesque village retains a primary school, three pubs and a Community Shop and Post Office.
Hard, Steep Hills

Long hill and steep decent
Polehouse Lane with Scenic Views
