5/5)About Discovery Trail
The Discovery Trail is for everyone, and we mean everyone! This is a great all-ability trail for walkers and beginner cyclists. There are fun features along the route for children, regular resting points and some stunning views to be enjoyed.
This level, well surfaced trail uses the 'Access for All' standard suitable for wheelchairs and prams, and there are regular resting points.
How to get there:
Discovery Trail can be started from Haldon Gateway in Haldon Forest Park. Exeter is the nearest town or village.
Travelling by car turn off the A38 at Exeter Racecourse and follow the signs for Haldon Forest Park. The Haldon Gateway Car Park is signposted further along the road on the left.
Please don't use our postcode in your Sat Nav! It will take you to the Forestry Commission Office and not the Haldon Forest Park visitor car park. Instead, carry on past the first gateway you see ('Office entrance only' is painted on the road there) and 200 metres on you will see the main entrance.
