This ride starts in Ottery St Mary and heads down the Otter Valley through Tipton, Harpford and Otterton to Budleigh Salterton. There it joins the railway trail to Exmouth and then follows the Exe Estuary Trail as far as Exton. Here it turns inland through Exton, Woodbury and Alyesbeare and climbs up West Hill prior to a welcome descent back into Ottery.

There are plenty of interesting places to see on the way and numerous refreshment stops.
