Dog friendly walks in Exeter
Powderham Castle is a 600 year old fortified manor house set within beautiful grounds and gardens. Dogs are welcome on leads, making it a fascinating day out with plenty to see and explore.
Haldon Forest Park spans 3,500 acres of gorgeous woodland with walking trails to suit all abilities. The Discovery Trail is well worth seeking out, carving a picturesque path through the forest with far reaching views over the rolling hills beyond.
And of course, right on your doorstep, the banks of the River Exe make for a wonderful walk whatever the season. Follow the water at your own pace and let the city unfold around you.

Dog Friendly Beaches near Exeter
Budleigh Salterton Beach sits just around the corner from Exmouth, a 2.5 mile stretch of pebble beach flanked by the Jurassic Coast’s unmistakable red sandstone cliffs. Seasonal restrictions apply on the main beach, but dogs are welcome on the sands near the Lime Kiln car park and at Steamer Steps.
Exmouth Beach stretches for two miles of golden sand at the mouth of the River Exe. Dogs are welcome at either end between May and October, and have the run of the whole stretch for the rest of the year.
For something a little different, the Exe Estuary Trail is well worth a morning or afternoon. Almost entirely traffic free and flat underfoot, the route wraps around the river from Exmouth through Topsham and Powderham before finishing at Dawlish Warren, where a sandy beach and nature reserve await. Ferries cross the water at various points, with cafes and facilities dotted along the way.
