Exe Big Paddle activity will take place from Exeter’s historic quayside on the Piazza Terracina (View in Google Maps), with paddling on the beautiful River Exe, ship canal and in the Quay basin. Exeter is easily reached by road and rail and the Big Paddle base is easily found once in the city.
Getting to the Exe Big Paddle By car:
Exeter is easily reached via the M5 from the North, A30 from the East or West and A38/A380 from the south. Once in the city, head for Haven Road just off the A377. We try and keep our impact low, so those who car share get a big grin! Sat Nav Postcode – EX2 8DP
