Walks and all ability trails

Discovery Trail A great all-ability trail, with fun features for children with regular resting points, that takes in some stunning views over Exeter and Dartmoor. This trail is suitable for walkers and beginner cyclists.		Butterfly Trail  More demanding in places this trail leads to an area that has been cleared to provide habitat for some of Britain’s rarer butterfly species.		Tree Trail A discretely waymarked and more demanding trail showing off some of our magnificent trees and habitats.
Raptor Trail Experience some of the wildlife living in the forest with a visit to the bird of prey viewpoint but don't forfet your binoculars! Although fully surfaced this trail is more demanding, be prepared for a few steep ascents and descents.		Mamhead Sensory Trail Another relaxing all-ability trail with regular resting points, waymarked by a series of sensory features, it offers breathtaking views over the Exe estuary and along the Jurassic Coast.		Stumped? The fun way to explore the woods, with a chance of winning a cash prize. Follows the route of the Raptor Trail.

All-ability – these trails are level and well surfaced, making them suitable for wheelchairs & pushchairs. There are also regular resting points for people who can only walk for short distances at a time.
More demanding – trails which may not be well surfaced and include sloping stretches. Not suitable for wheelchairs or pushchairs, and no resting points.

We do not recommend that walkers use the Challenge Trail or Ridge Ride Trail. This is a cycle trail that has been designed for the more experienced cyclist. Cyclists use these trails at speed.

Dog Walking

Dogs are certainly welcome at Haldon Forest Park – what better way for you and your dog to get some exercise?
We have several short ‘dog trails’ so that your dog can relieve itself at the start of a walk away from the main trails, and dog bins are provided close to the car parks. More information for dog owners.
