About the reserve
Riverside Valley Park is one of six Exeter Valley Parks managed by Devon Wildlife Trust.
Its 40 hectares sit between Clapperbrook Lane and Bridge Road. This is an easy Valley Park to visit: it is close to the city centre and just a short walk from the historic Quayside. It offers river views, excellent walking and cycling paths and flood plain meadows giving way to the wilder estuary.
