How to get there:

Harcombe Riding Trails can be started from Harcombe Horse Box Park in Haldon Forest Park. Exeter is the nearest town or village.

Follow the A38 Plymouth-bound and turn off immediately after the Exeter Racecourse turning at Haldon Forest Diner. Follow the lane for about half a mile and the Harcombe Horse Box Park is on the left.

If travelling Exeter-bound you will need to turn off for Exeter Racecourse, then turn right, travelling under the dual carriageway. Take the first exit at the mini roundabout, which will take you back onto the A38, Plymouth-bound. Immediately as you crest the hill you will see Haldon Forest Diner.
