Baggy Point to Woolacombe in North Devon has been revealed as one of the most active dog-friendly walking routes in the country.
The 10-mile circular walk across beaches and through dunes really is a picturesque route, since it is one that embodies all North Devon’s coastal beauty and keeps people and their dogs the most active.
Roundham Head in Paignton has also been ranked as one of the best dog walking routes for those looking to spend leisurely time with their pooches given it’s just a 0.9-mile circular beach walk.

CO2 to fall by 240 tonnes over the next five years
54,500 litres of fuel saved per year
Net Zero protocol game changer
Civil Rail Solutions, one of the UK’s leading manpower solutions providers to the railway infrastructure and construction sector, has announced the roll-out of real-time in-cab driver coaching technology from Exeter-based Lightfoot, that’s helping its fleet of 60 vans realise dramatic reductions in emissions and fuel use, at the same time as curtailing instances of dangerous driving.
