Clyst Valley Regional Park

The Clyst Valley is on the doorstep of a rapidly growing population east of Exeter. Whilst some parts of it are well known, others are inaccessible and await discovery. So we’re creating new public, green space which will link up existing rights of way and create new trails, giving people access to the countryside; create new accessible, high-quality green spaces to take recreational pressure off our most precious European habitats and species; strengthen the landscape through the restoration of wildlife-rich habitats such as native trees, hedges, parklands, orchards, and wetlands; restore and provide access to the built heritage; create new educational and visitor facilities so that people can enjoy and understand the countryside.

A new 13 km multi-use Clyst Valley Trail will enable people to travel on foot, bicycle, mobility scooter and where possible, on horseback through the valley, linking to the Exe Estuary Trail and the Exe Valley Way.
