Ludwell Butterfly Trail

Meanders through gentle meadows and woodland edges around Ludwell Valley Park, offering flat to gently undulating terrain perfect for families with young children and pushchairs on surfaced sections. Dogs welcome to explore this wildlife-rich route designed to showcase butterfly habitats and wildflower meadows. Short, accessible loops make it ideal for little legs, with plenty of nature-spotting opportunities including seasonal butterflies, dragonflies and birds around the valley's ponds and hed

Exminster to Kenton

Follows quiet lanes and field paths through Devon's gently rolling farmland between two villages, with gradual climbs and occasional muddy patches after rain. Suitable for older children used to longer walks, but uneven ground and stiles make it tricky for buggies. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Offers peaceful countryside views across the Exe estuary and a genuine taste of rural Devon away from tourist trails.

Aylesbeare Circular

Winds through East Devon's gentle hills and wooded valleys with moderate inclines that can challenge smaller legs. Suitable for older children (8+) but not buggy-friendly due to uneven woodland paths and stiles. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Highlights include ancient oak woodlands rich with wildlife, peaceful farmland views, and the chance to spot deer, butterflies and rare heath fritillary butterflies in season—a genuinely rewarding countryside escape.

Pinhoe to Exeter Way

Connects Pinhoe village to Exeter city centre along mostly flat, paved paths following old railway lines and quiet lanes. Excellent for families with buggies and young children—surfaces are firm and gradients minimal throughout. Dogs welcome on leads, particularly through residential stretches. Makes for an easy, practical walk into the city with good access to shops and cafés at the Exeter end, ideal for a gentle leg-stretch combined with errands or exploring the cathedral quarter.
