Old Track To The Otter
   
Upottery boasts one pub :The Sidmouth Arms
This pleasant walk on the edge of the Blackdown Hills can be quite muddy after heavy rain fall; so wellies are recommended.
It follows an old track and footpath to the Otter which eventually leads to a country lane. Turn left then left into a track.

The walk steadily climbs towards what used to be called Upottery Airport (Smeatharpe) - you pass a brick memorial to the USAAF Station 462.
From here, follow a lane towards the now disused airport . Just before a chapel (150 m) turn left into a public footpath which takes you back to Upottery.
If you want to see the disused airport continue along the lane until you reach a T junction. Ahead, you will notice the airport and an old control tower.
