mgabgt added Budott three, a new walk from Budleigh Salterton to Ottery St Mary
Walk this routeThe river flows from the rolling hills around Ottery St Mary down to the sea, with vegetation and wildlife changing as it gos. Whichever way you choose to walk it lays out a rich tapestry of the Devon countryside. Take care to leave it as you found it....

Travelling east you could avoid the mud by following Exmbud Three (on the cycle route NCR 2) as far as Castle Lane (SY 04308 82288) and then walk south on Castle Lane and continue south onto the footpath to the golf course to rejoin Exmbud Two or vice versa....

A lovely walk along the coast path. Stunning views, well marked path. Expect hills....

I preferred walking along the coastal route, but this way was flatter and easier. Still a 5 start route for me!...

Not the most interesting views (the coastal path is better for that), but easy walking....
conoroneilluk
A much easier route is to use the other side of the river, a minor change and the natural route most people navigating themselves will no doubt end up taking anyway. Otherwise the route is good and very pleasant....

danravenellison added Exmbud three, a new walk from Exmouth to Budleigh Salterton
Walk this routeIf you've got new white trainers they'll probably stay 95% white. I'm going to walk this route again in the summer and look forward to all the leaves being on the trees....
danravenellison
If you are looking for a circular walk from either, combining this route with Exmbud Two makes for a really varied and enjoyable 17km walk. It's an interesting and sometimes curious section part of the coast, including sandy beaches, 250 million year old rocks at Orcombe Point, an enormous static caravan park (with some caravan locations looking like they'll be in the sea sometime soonish), a military firing range (you can't walk through it), patches of lush woodland, stunning coastal views and the quaint delights of Budleigh Salterton....
danravenellison
The route is not lit, I just enjoy walking in the night and this route was easy enough with my torch. I completed the route as part of a circular, combing this route with Exmbud One earlier in the day. I think there might be another couple of good route options for Exmbud....

Tim Ryan added Exmbud two, a new walk from Exmouth to Budleigh Salterton
Walk this routeInstead it is recommended to change the section of the route from Tipton St John to Ottery St Mary by walking to Tipton Vale and then on public footpaths on the west side of the River Otter....
Roger Moseley
A couple of steep and muddy ascents and descents by Peak Hill and High Peak but this was on 30 Dec after quite a lot of rain. Not an accessible route for those with any mobility challenges and generally requires a reasonable level of fitness...
