Have you discovered the Clyst Valley Regional Park?
The Clyst Valley Regional Park is a new breathing space for the growing community of Exeter and East Devon. Centred on the River Clyst, it stretches from Ashclyst Forest in the north to Topsham on the Exe estuary.
What are our aims?
- Connect communities with nature and each other, via new traffic-free trails
- Grow your personal skills, knowledge and wellbeing through activities and events, and support local businesses and food producers.
- Restore landscape, nature and water quality, preserve the heritage of the valley and promote guardianship of it
What makes it special?
The historic gems of Killerton House, Poltimore House and Bishops Court, with their associated gardens and parklands. Traditional apple orchards. Ancient and notable trees. The huge forest of Ashclyst. Picturesque villages like Sowton and Broadclyst, with thatched and lime washed cottages, ancient stone churches and welcoming pubs. Floodplain meadows. Green lanes.
Why is it needed?
People need access to nature-rich green and blue space, without relying on the private car. That means that traffic-free trails, quiet lanes, bus and train stations need to become part of a sustainable transport network. Nature needs nurturing and sanctuary. The unique character of the landscape needs protection and management. The river needs to be freed from constraint and pollution.
