Along the Way

Places of Interest

Beyond the makers' gates — weirs, fish ladders, ancient churches and the river itself. Worth a pause as you travel between stops.

Cross-referenced with the East Devon Way (Exmouth → Lyme Regis), the South West Coast Path and the RSPB heaths at Aylesbeare — useful connecting points if you're stitching the Otter Valley onto a longer walk.
