Haldon Forest Park is situated on the outskirts of Exeter.
It sits on a flint ridge to the South of the city and dominates the
skyline for miles around. With over 3500 acres of woodland it is a
wonderful playground for all the family.
It has recently been awarded with £760,000 from the Active
England lottery distribution fund, managed by Sport England. This
money has allowed the creation of new trails, car park and
toilet block as well as adding value to these trials with play
equipment, sensory interpretation, seating and signage.
