Geographically, Haldon Forest is located between the towns of Chudleigh and Exminster and is south of Exeter.
[1][2] One of the reasons for designating the forest as a Site of Special Scientific Interest[1] is the presence of a population of nightjars.
The Forestry Commission promotes many activities at the park, such as cycling, horse riding, walking, orienteering, and others.
There is a selection of walking and cycling trails to suit all abilities.
