Distance: 12.5 miles

The Green Circle in Exeter is a walking and cycling route that weaves around the city's five valley parks.The route is well-marked with a green and white circle symbol.

Difficulty:

Some major roads will need to be crossed - most have a pedestrian crossing with lights.

If the distance of almost 13 miles is somewhat daunting , you may wish to only do part of it and use the bus to return to your starting point.

The route is well signed.

Barley Valley can be muddy - see map
Follow light green arrow on white disc.

It seems to avoid pubs but one is worth mentioning on the outskirts of Exeter ; it is ten minutes off the main route.
