DO NOT USE POSTCODE ABOVE USE THE ONE BELOW FOR RACECOURSE
How do I get there?

•By car, take the Exeter Racecourse turning off the A38 Devon Expressway. From the A380 you can follow the brown tourist signs for Haldon Belvedere. Carry on past the first gateway you see ('Office entrance only' is painted on the road there) and 200 metres on you will see the main entrance.
•By bus, you can catch the 360 bus to the Belvedere Tower. You can then join the trails through the woods, from the layby.
•By bicycle you can follow the A38 Cycle Way, which is part of the National Cycle Network. Turn off at the racecourse and follow the signs for Haldon Forest Park. Carry on past the first gateway you see ('Office entrance only' is painted on the road there) and 200 metres on you will see the main entrance.
Please don't use our postcode in your Sat Nav! It will take you to the Forestry Commission Office instead of the Haldon Forest Park visitor's car park. Follow the directions above instead.
