Devon Eco Retreat

Exeter Medieval Trail

Winds through Exeter's historic heart, passing medieval cathedral, underground passages, and ancient city walls on mostly flat, paved surfaces. Perfect for families with buggies and young children – the entire route is accessible and stroller-friendly. Dogs welcome on leads throughout the urban streets and heritage sites. Offers fascinating glimpses into over 2,000 years of history, with interpretive plaques making it educational for all ages without feeling like a history lesson.

Exeter Green Circle

Loops around Exeter's outskirts mixing riverside paths, woodland trails, and open meadows with gentle to moderate inclines throughout. Suitable for older children used to longer walks, but uneven terrain and stiles make it tricky for buggies. Dogs welcome on leads near livestock. Offers surprising pockets of countryside within reach of the city, plus views across the Exe Valley and glimpses of the cathedral from elevated sections—ideal for a half-day escape without leaving Devon's capital.

Exeter City Wall Trail

Traces Exeter's ancient Roman and medieval defences through the city centre, mostly on paved streets and pavements with minimal incline. Perfect for families with buggies and young children interested in history – you'll pass castle ruins, original wall sections, and interpretive panels explaining 2,000 years of fortifications. Dogs welcome on leads throughout the urban route. Ideal for combining sightseeing with gentle exercise, taking 1-2 hours depending on photo stops.
