Mamhead Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

From Starcross up onto the Haldon Ridge, Mamhead is an Exeter local classic climb. It's fairly gentle to start with, before ramping up through the trees with a few steep corners. Buckle up, this is one of those climbs that seems to just go on, and on, and on...

View of the Sea from Dawlish

Highlight • Viewpoint

The railway line hugs the coast at the bottom of the cliff here at Dawlish and bags the best views of the coast, but the road high above still offers a great vista out across the sea.
