Ide Walks

Ide ( pronounced 'eed' ) lies protected between the A30 and several steep hills.

All walks from Ide involve a certain amount of climbing and descending.

Walk 1 Around Ide (1.9 miles)

Difficulty

Follow a footpath next the car park to a stile; then join the abandoned railway track which used to lead to Alphington. You'll soon notice a footpath on your right; follow this and when you enter a field always keep to close to the hedge on your left until you reach the top of a steep hill.

From here you will have great views of Devon's rolling hills and the city of Exeter. It is not a coincidence that nearby a Roman signal station has been found.

As you descend,you can still see part of what would have been the old railway bridge.

Near the WW1 memorial,either fork left to return to Ide or turn right & for a short while follow the pavement along the main road ,then turn left into a public footpath leading to the longest ford in England!

Which ever way,you will be passing the Hunts man pub and perhaps investigate for some refreshments.

Continue up the hill then just before the school,turn into a path on your right which eventually takes you to Ide's church
