The Tarka Trail is brilliant, especially enjoy the bit that goes from Mullacott Cross to Ilfracombe.

I don't know how Dawlish has the nerve to call the section through Lanherne and down to the station a cycle path. How can you possibly cycle down a gutter adjacent to a wall? Its a physical impossibility.

Why does leatash think Coryton Cove is the responsibilty of DCC, does he/she know something that I don't.

The rumour that I had heard about these country parks is that, since they constitute "green space", councils are saying that the town's green space is all out there in that country park and therefore we no longer have to provide it in the middle, where of course it happens to be much more attractive (= expensive) real estate which builders are only too happy to snap up.

Thank you for this thread. It's prompted me to contact Devon County Council yesterday about the state of Dawlish Bridleway 3, and today I've had an email back from the Public Rights of Way Senior Officer at DCC.  The assessment of the Bridleway is anticipated to be completed by 5th September, and I've got a reference to allow me to check its progress online. Nice and simple, as it should be.

You must just be very unlucky then. I did five long walks last week with barely a puddle or mud in sight and they were all OFF the road!

Well i have just completed the Wainwrights, i am half way through the Pennine Way, and the Pemprokeshire Coast Path and i am up to my ankles in mud on a regular basis and thats what i expect when walking, if you want dry feet keep to the roads.

@ER113 i was referring to the idiots cycling through the centre of dawlish on the pavements, which are not shared cycle/footpaths! The signage is not clear in Dawlish. I use the Tarka trail a lot, starting at Barnstaple, the signage in that town is excellent leaving cyclists in no doubt as to where they can and cannot cycle!
