Sport, Exercise and Health collaborated with the Gardens and Grounds team to create a marked route around the Stoke Bishop residential site.

Encompassing all of the residences, the trail explores the stunning grounds on the doorstep of student accommodation. 

Measuring approximately 1.5 miles the trail is of mixed terrain, including tarmacadam, gravel path and grass surfaces. It presents an ideal way to enjoy some fresh air, be outdoors and explore the delightful gardens of the Stoke Bishop residences whether walking, jogging or running.

Route maps are available in the residences and from the University sports facilities. 

The route is numbered in a clockwise fashion, but you can start and finish at any point taking advantage of the many walking routes across the site to return home.

Active Trail Challenges

If you are looking for some additional ways to use the trail you could....

• make it part of your journey to/from the transport hub or campus
• use it to get to various Active Residences activities or the Stoke Bishop tennis, squash and outdoor activity courts
• turn it into an exercise trail, doing a circuit of activities at various points. Seasonal challenges and exercises will be published here during the year
