The East Devon Way - an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty

A foxglove logo marks the 40 mile (64km) route of the East Devon Way linking the beautiful countryside of gentle rolling hills that lies inland between Lyme Regis and Exmouth. Some of the route enjoys spectacular views as it crosses open heathland and passes through ancient woodlands, while other sections follow the sides of streams allowing the opportunity to appreciate the wide variety of flora and fauna to be enjoyed in this hidden region of the English countryside.

The East Devon Way was developed in 1991 to encourage access to the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, allowing those keen to explore the wonderful scenery an easily identified route. The Way can be broken up into day long walks utilising the local bus services or there are a number of circular walks that can be followed.  An official guide is available from Tourist Information Centres in East Devon.
