We are the Exeter and District Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

This is a walk of great views and wonderful water contrasts. It’s not long before we leave country fields behind to enjoy the rugged beauty of the South West Coast path with Widemouth Bay to the left and Bude to the right. We follow a good path, enjoying a beautiful coastal coffee stop. There is a short stretch of pavement walking where the coast and the path have been eroded before we reach the town and its Castle Heritage Centre. Here we learn about the Bude connection to NT Killerton’s Acland family. This is our lunch stop (with benches, toilets and a cafe) with our return taking us along a tranquil canal tow path where a heron or kingfisher may be spotted.
If you would like to join this walk, please notify the leaders, preferably by email, so that they can inform you of any late changes to arrangements.
The Weir & Whalesborough Trail Car Park (at the turnoff to The Weir restaurant, ignore the first car park on the right and proceed to the parking area up the road, through the gate and on the left, see photograph of car park sign). No toilets at car park but a short walk up the hill is The Weir restaurant with toilets.
