    Staying in the Honiton area for a few days and wondered if theres any good riding (off road) near to?

    Plenty of good unmarked stuff up at Haldon (~25 mins drive away) which is running really nicely at the mo and even better natural trials in East Dartmoor (~45 mins) around Lustleigh cleave.

    When are you down?

    Not much I know of around honiton but your pretty close to Woodbury & Haldon. Quantocks & Dartmoor a bit further afield.

    Stick to the road. Stay away from the moor.

    Woodbury, Haldon, Dartmoor are the main options. A few small other spots dotted about. Devon is a oddly limited for the size of the county, as outside of Dartmoor there’s a lot of rural land and a lot of it is inaccessible or not rideable. Mostly private estates and farms.

    Lots of great stuff near Honiton if you know where to look 😉
    Plenty on and around East Hill, towards Sidmouth and of course Woodbury.
    Here’s the link to my Strava profile – loads of recent rides around the Ottery and Woodbury area:
    Lots of routes…
    Can send you some .gpx files if you want.

    As above. Likely hills if riding from Honiton. I’d show you a few but am post op recovery at the mo.

    Thanks for all the replies, Haldon sounds interesting. Is the unmarked stuff easy to find jruk? we’re there (here?) now.

    Have a look at
    this route
    it takes in a lot of the decent stuff.

    If you’re free on Wednesday evening a bunch of us ride up there from the Ley Arms in Kenn at 6.30 the back for a beer at 9.
