Routes
Welcome to the official website for the East Devon Way – your gateway to adventure in the heart of East Devon!
This walking route, first developed in the late 1990s, covers 40 miles of footpaths, leafy lanes, and bridleways, through the best of the region’s natural beauty.
You’ll encounter rivers, woodland, heathland, and valleys, each offering its own unique charm. Plus, there are circular routes available for those who prefer, or link routes that connect to the Southwest Coast Path and nearby villages.

Explore the East Devon Way in lots of ways
Whether you are looking for a week-long adventure or a short afternoon stroll, choose your preferred path.
- We’ve developed a selection of walks to help you get to the East Devon Way from nearby villages and towns. We call these link routes and are waymarked in situ.
- We know people also love a circular route too, so we’ve developed circular routes that enjoy sections of the East Devon Way as well as the surrounding landscape. These are not waymarked in situ.
Sometimes there’s a problem
We try to keep these routes as clear and as up to date as possible. If you find that somethings not right, or that a path is blocked let us know and we can update our information.
Remember to always wear appropriate gear, take some snacks and ensure you have plenty of fluids
