Outdoor Activities in Exeter

Exeter's position on the River Exe, surrounded by countryside, means there are plenty of outdoor activities to choose from. Hire a bicycle and cycle along the canal towpath, or paddle a canoe downstream to one of the two popular pubs situated beside the water - the Double Locks and Turf Locks.

Cycling is a great way to get around Exeter and there are many routes around the city which give cyclists the opportunity to visit parks, the Quayside, historic buildings and other attractions. A free Exeter cycle guide and map is available from Exeter Visitor Information & Tickets.

The Exeter Green Circle is a twelve mile circular walking route around the city outskirts, taking in green countryside valley parks and quiet leafy suburbs.
