Does anyone have any nice gravel bike appropriate routes in and around Dawlish?

Got a couple of weeks there at the end of August.

I've used Strava to plan routes before, with mixed results... local knowledge is far far better!!

Thanks in advance

Limited options immediately from Dawlish. However there is cycle path up the estuary to Exeter (and down the other side to Exmouth).
Off road stuff you’re probably looking at a ride up the hill to Haldon.

As above, You can get all the way to Exmouth in the estuary path from Dawlish.
About 90% off-road, though not really gravel.

If you head up directly East from Starcross, then you'll end up on top of Mamhead, which leads into Haldon, Harcombe and Ashcombe.
All of them have loads of gravel forestry trails.

Nothing to add apart from that I used to love going there with my parents as a kid!

Used to stay at Dawlish Warren 🙂
