It is intended that this section should provide some really good and useful information for the visitor as well as the community. Some suggestions are fixture lists, venues, special needs etc. What is really needed is a contact for each sport or interest to help gather information and then input it to the Web-Site. Where you see "Any Information Out There?" below you'll know that we're looking for volunteers - your Web-Site Needs You!

Walking

One of the most popular activities for visitors to Mid Devon is walking, the area has everything from quiet strolls to serious rambling following a well-sign posted network of footpaths and country lanes. The added assets of nearby Exmoor and Dartmoor are a bonus, and the Mid Devon region is also well situated for more demanding long distance walking.

Quad Bikes

Just south of Cullompton there is a quad bike circuit.
