Walking & Cycling in South Devon
Walking & Cycling
Hearty hills, toughened trails and picturesque paths… the diverse Devon landscape is a haven for those who enjoy the great outdoors.
Step off the beaten track and let Cofton guide you through all the Walking & Cycling routes South Devon has to offer. The South West Coastal Path sweeps elegantly past Cofton in both directions, taking you up the Exe Estuary towards Topsham and Exeter and also South towards Teignmouth and further afield. The traffic free paths are frequented by both nature enthusiasts and those who love nothing more than to enjoy a leisurely pedal.
The 80 acres which Cofton encompasses is also full of hidden treasures, such as the private walk which meanders through Eastdon Woods and brings you out onto stunning views overlooking the Exe Estuary and our Eastdon Apartments.
We’ve been there and tried all the cycling trails and walking paths for you. Why not read our cycling in Devon blog for more inspiration.
