Exeter Stepping Out is part of Walking for Health in Devon.
There are currently walks held 6 days a week, from various locations in the city. These include evening walks in the late spring and summer months and a pushchair walk which takes place in the wonford area, school term time only.
The walks are led by trained, friendly, volunteer walk leaders who will be sure to give you a warm welcome

The Devonshire Association Exeter Branch was founded in 1952 and serves the City of Exeter and the surrounding towns and villages.
An annual programme of events offers a broad range of topics tailored to the diverse interests of its members. Meetings are held at convenient locations, usually in Exeter.
A typical programme of events consists of a New Year party in January, including various forms of entertainment, and lectures in February and March given by recognised experts in their fields. The lectures are typically followed during the spring and summer months by a visit to a country house and assorted guided walks and excursions, occasionally to the coast. A ‘Meet and Greet’ event is also occasionally arranged for new members. Autumn and winter events include an annual lunch, traditionally preceded by a talk given by the incumbent Devonshire Association President, and an AGM accompanied by a presentation or a question and answer session with committee members.
Non-members are welcome to attend any of the activities – space permitting.

The aim of the group is to promote an interest in birds and other wildlife in Exeter and the surrounding district, and to support the activities of the RSPB in giving nature a home.
Each month between September and April we have indoor evening meetings, usually with a visiting expert speaker. Refreshments are provided in the interval, and free underground evening parking is available opposite the hall. Every 2 or 3 weeks we have outdoor meetings at top bird watching sites in Devon, Somerset or Dorset. For the longer-distance trips we share cars, meeting in the car park behind the Miller & Carter Steakhouse on Honiton Road.
Every quarter we produce a newsletter containing news about the RSPB and local group activities, including reports on past events and reminders about forthcoming ones.
We also operate a 100 Club lottery - anyone can buy uniquely numbered £10 shares; each month winning numbers are drawn; after a small administration fee is deducted, the remaining subscription is split, one half going to support the RSPB and the other being distributed as prize money.

Devon Wildlife Trust Local Group
We hold events such as talks, walks, wildlife activities and practical conservation tasks within the city boundary and beyond. Exeter Local Group focuses on making connections between local communities and wildlife. We often hold joint events with other local organisations such as Devon Bat Group: Exeter section and Devon Mammal Group, as well as get involved with projects such as Exeter Wild City.
Exeter's Wild Areas
The Old Sludge Beds is the only accessible DWT reserve within the city boundary. However, Exeter is fortunate to have a variety of green areas. Devon Wildlife Trust has recently taken over the management of a network of wildlife-rich Valley Parks, and Cricklepit Mill garden at the DWT office is a great example of how you can encourage biodiversity in an urban area. These and other wildlife-rich corners of Exeter are the focus of our events. Come with us and discover Exeter’s wild areas on our guided walks. Explore them through wild activities such as pond dipping and surveys that add to DWT’s knowledge and understanding of the sites. Conserve them through events that assist DWT’s staff with habitat creation and enhancement within these areas.
