Exeter's Green Circle walk has eluded me. Never walked it! I cannot believe this is true and I am ashamed to say I have also never visited the underground passages, the Guildhall or St Nicholas Priory. What an admission of guilt. When we are released from lockdown I intend to visit all except the Guildhall which looks a bit intimidating to me.
12.5 miles of green lanes and quiet roads

It's beautiful: managed 8 miles of it today including getting home, walking up Mincinglake Park through to the top of Stoke Valley Road and then down through Lower Argyll Road - then the green lanes turned into slight chaos with the loss of access to the university.
There are good information boards about trees there but I lost the green circle marks and kept being told the path was shut.
So I backtracked and ended up via another superb green lane, where something large and dark hurdled a fence - I suspect a deer as best fit candidate and then walking along Cowley Bridge Road and then up through the main university road and back home, via a slight detour into Duryard and Belvedere valley park because I have not been there and it looked so green, so inviting - and had a scenic bench. I'm looking forward to trying another part of it tomorrow starting at Ludwell Valley Park and hopefully finding the Riverside Valley Park bit. So much twittering bird life. And squirrels. A few runners and dog walkers but it is so very very peaceful.
