Exeter Green Circle the other way round – Part One

Start Topsham Road, Exeter bus stop just past the Crematorium entrance (OS 115 SX, 939 907) at 10.45am, 4 hours (including lunch stop).

After 2 years of walking the Green Circle anti-clockwise, this time we will go clockwise, and see the green outskirts of Exeter from a different viewpoint.  This walk takes us from Topsham Road to the river and canal, then through the old village of Alphington and up into Redhills before recrossing the river to arrive at Iron Bridge in the city centre.  You can then either travel straight home (we will have bus and train timetables with us) or pop into the city centre for a bit of Christmas shopping.  Please bring a picnic lunch unless the weather is awful, in which case we will find a pub instead.

The start point of the walk is on the 57 bus route.  You can take the 9.40am number 58 bus from Budleigh Salterton Public Hall and change at Exmouth Road for the 57.  If travelling from Newton Poppleford, take the 9.49am number 9 bus and change at Livery Dole, taking the 57 towards Brixington.

The start time for this walk is dependent on the bus bringing the walk leaders from Budleigh Salterton, if you are travelling by another means please be at the start by 10.45 and wait for us!
