A scenic, low-traffic cycling loop starting and finishing at Pinhoe Station, heading out through West Clyst to Broadclyst, then following quiet lanes and a surfaced National Trust shared path past Clyston Mill / Markers Cottage into the Killerton Estate. From Killerton House, the route continues on peaceful countryside lanes to Poltimore House for a café stop at Branches, before looping back via West Clyst to Pinhoe. The ride is gently rolling, mostly on quiet tarmac with some smooth off-road sections, and suits gravel, hybrid, or confident road bikes.
