Share This Post

This is a short Forest track route suitable for most Mobility Scooters and Power Chairs.

Location : Haldon Forest

Starting Point : Obelisk car park

OS Grid Reference : SX921808

Distance : 1 mile

Route Surface : Gravel for mot of the route or coarse sand

Category : Level 1

No facilities

This route is a nice short circular walk with views of the obelisk, but the best bit is the view of Exmouth and the Exe Estuary. There are two options, short loop and long loop, but the long loop only adds a quarter of a mile so both are not very far, the long loop is listed separately.

Clear signage showing the short and long loops.

The route is well sign posted, as are all the official walking routes on the hills.

The first section of the walk to the viewpoint, can be messy after heavy rain, but not enough to affect the scooter/wheelchair.
