Our most popular leaflet containing all of the information that you will need to find your way around. With the help of the Exe Explorer leaflet you can find a variety of routes from an hour walk to a days outing using the ferries and train or bus service to get around the whole Estuary in a day. The cycle and walking paths known as the Exe Estuary Trail will eventually be developed around the rest of the Estuary offering the opportunity to walk or cycle around the entire Estuary on wide, surfaced and mostly flat paths.

Exeter Canoe Loops - Available Soon!
The Canoe Loops are a series of self-guided circular canoeing/kayaking trails that link the River Exe and Exeter Ship Canal between Exeter Quayside and the Exe Estuary.
A new leaflet is being produced to promote the trails and new access steps have been installed to improve canoe ingress, egress and portage around weirs. The waterproof leaflet will detail routes, access point locations, safety advice and a code of conduct.
There are four loops which can be paddled from different access points and in different combinations. Canoeists can head down the river and back up the canal and join up loops for longer trips. It takes most people 2-3 hours to paddle each loop and the complete circuit from Exeter Quay to Turf Locks and back is 17km, which can take a full day.
Exeter Canoe Loops is a partnership project between the Environment Agency and Exeter City Council.
