East Devon Way
Your gateway to adventure in the heart of East Devon!
Welcome to the official website for the East Devon Way – your gateway to adventure in the heart of East Devon!
This walking route, first developed in the late 1990s, covers 40 miles of footpaths, leafy lanes, and bridleways, through the best of the region’s natural beauty.
You’ll encounter rivers, woodland, heathland, and valleys, each offering its own unique charm. Plus, there are circular routes available for those who prefer, or link routes that connect to the Southwest Coast Path and nearby villages.

Walks to and from the East Devon Way
Whether you are looking for a week-long adventure or a short afternoon stroll, choose your preferred path.
- Link Walks: Take you from nearby villages and towns to the EDW – these are waymarked with pink ‘East Devon Way Link’ discs.
- Circular Walks: Use a small part of the EDW to form a circular walk into the surrounding countryside. These are not waymarked in situ.
