So much to do...
For those who just want to ‘do their own thing’ you can choose
from walking the coast path, bird watching on the estuary, exploring
local churches, retail therapy in the High Street, or just sitting on
the promenade and taking in the wonderful views, that on a good day
will take you from Portland Bill in Dorset to Berry Head west of Brixham.
Ideal
for Cyclists
The multitude of country lanes in East Devon offer a quiet retreat from
busy roads for the keen cyclist. Although we cannot give you a hill-free
ride, we can guarantee that once you have made the top of the hill you
will be rewarded by superb views from the field gate that you lean against.
There is a cycle track, with several picnic spots along its way, that
extends for about 2 miles from the edge of Budleigh to Littleham on
the outskirts of Exmouth, along the course of the old railway. Combine
this with the lane from Littleham or roads through the leafy residential
part of Exmouth and you can cycle from Budleigh to Exmouth seafront,
with all its accompanying attractions.
Riding
There are 4 Riding Schools within 12 miles of Budleigh. The nearest
is just on the edge of the town at Dalditch, this is very comprehensive,
offering tuition and facilities all year round. The others are at Sidmouth,
Farway [Honiton] and Seaton.
