Interesting information
With miles of cycle paths and footpaths and exceptional and ever-changing views, the Exe Estuary is a destination that can be explored again and again. It is one of the most important estuaries in Europe for wildlife, particularly birds, and has several international designations.
On this stretch, you can look across to Dawlish Warren which is an essential high tide roosting site for the many thousands of birds that migrate to the estuary each winter. They feed and rest on these areas during high tide and then move back onto the rich mud flats, to feed on worms, snails and shellfish, which are revealed by the falling tide.
