Accessibility Information

This landscape is for everyone, it's all about finding what is most suitable for your abilities.

Is This Right For You Is This Right For Me?

We’ve tried to provide as much information about access as we can on each explore location and route to help you make an informed decision. If you have specific questions or access needs, we recommend contacting the relevant landowner ahead of your visit.

We have recently (2026) audited all our East Devon Way walking routes and have up to date information on terrain, slopes, distance and field furniture like gates and stiles. We’ve provided you with all this information and also used a route grading categorisation to help you understand if a route is right for you since this may be something you are used to using. View a breakdown of the categories. 

Accessible Using wheels to get around?

Use our filter on our explore page to find locations more suited to wheelchair and pushchairs, some of which also offer a Tramper hire service.

There is also a filter for those of you that like to explore a location on bike.

Dog Walking Dogs

Many sites in East Devon are dog-friendly, though please keep your dog under close control (and where required on a lead) to help avoid wildlife disturbance and to always clean up after your dog.

Museums

Discover the history of East Devon at one of the many museums found in the district. Most of these museums are run by volunteers, so please check opening times before visiting:
