Exeter City returned to winning ways after a comfortable 4-1 win over Morecambe at St James Park in Sky Bet League Two.

This is a beautiful ten-mile walk along the Exe Estuary Trail starting at Exeter Quay and finishing at Exmouth.
The walk is flat and mainly on public footpaths or cycling trails and so it is ideal for families and a range of abilities. As the walk is along the Exe there are various train stations en route, so the walk can be shortened if desired. Puffing Billy in Exton are kindly allowing use of their pub as a lunch stop and a rest.
There are frequent buses and trains back to Exeter along the route to Exmouth.
