| Bickleigh Castle | Tiverton | Cadeleigh |
Bickleigh is known for its bridge across the Exe,its 15th century castle,an old mill,a Railway Centre and two popular pubs.
There are 2 Bickleighs in Devon,one near Plymouth and this one,near Tiverton. Perhaps to avoid confusion,the old railway station was called Cadeleigh.

Walk 1 Bickleigh Castle (5.4 miles)
This moderate walk follows part of the scenic Exe Valley Way and passes Bickleigh Castle with its 6th century chapel,arguably the oldest building in Devon - access by appointment only.
During the Winter months wellies 
are strongly recommended.
There are no pubs en route and the walk has one steep climb.
