If you're planning to get out in the countryside more this springtime, and need some inspiration for local walks – look no further.

The Teignmouth and Dawlish Ramblers have produced a new, revised version of their booklet giving details of 25 walks in the area.

The walks range from a two-mile stroll to longer hikes of six or seven miles, and the booklet gives detailed descriptions of the routes and notes on interesting sights along the way, as well as useful tips and advice from the Ramblers.

The booklets would normally be sold at the Tourist Information Centre, but since it's closed, another way has been found to get them out to local residents and visitors.

Dawlish Against Plastic has received a grant from local councillor Lin Goodman-Bradbury, who sits on their steering group, enabling them to buy 200 booklets at cost price from the Ramblers. The group are now offering the booklets to local businesses and other organisations, to give out free to their customers.

Dave Hutton from Dawlish Against Plastic said: "Our group have been talking about what a 'return to normal' might look like post-lockdown, and we decided to try and promote low-impact, healthy tourism.

"A friend in the Ramblers group told me they were having difficulty reaching people in Dawlish with their new revised booklet, '25 Walks in Teignmouth and Dawlish', because the Tourist Information Centre in the town had closed. It usually sells them to the public.

"It was clear to me that promoting this booklet would be a great way to kick-start our eco-tourism campaign.

"We have chosen to distribute the booklets through local businesses and organisations such as the library and the Town Council offices at The Manor House."

The walks described in the booklet include easy, moderate and 'fairly strenuous' options. 'A Walk on the Wet Side' takes in the Exminster Marshes and is great for birdwatchers. 'Country to Cockwood' takes in the Dawlish Countryside Park and the village of Cockwood. 'Isambard's Kingdom' follows part of the railway line, and 'Coombe Cellars, Netherton and Haccombe' takes walkers through quiet lanes and hamlets, starting and finishing at a pub with a restaurant.

The intriguingly named 'Bishop's Boozy Byways' walk takes in Bishopsteignton's brewery and vineyard, and 'Beggar's Bush' explores rural pathways on the north-west side of the Haldon ridge and the outskirts of Chudleigh.

The booklet contains maps of each route, useful information on parking and interesting historical facts.

Any local business that would like to offer free copies to its customers can email [email protected]

The booklet can also be bought for £3.50 from Ashleigh Way Post Office, or by sending a cheque for the same amount, and your address, to Teignmouth and Dawlish Ramblers, c/o 1 Shillingate Close, Dawlish, EX7 9SQ.

Dawlish Nub News would love to hear from readers who've gone on these walks. Take photos of your favourite views, and tell us what you enjoyed most about the route you took. We can publish a gallery of photos and a follow-up article later this year.
