Cycle to the end of Jarvis Close and then continue along the path straight in front of you. This is the start of the old railway line which is now a cycle path. Cycle along the path and after 150 yards it takes you straight across Littleham Road.

You now cycle along the tree lined trail as it takes you out of Exmouth along the route of the old railway line towards Knowle. As you leave the suburbs of Exmouth the trail takes you under Capel Lane and into open countryside.
