Scadson Woods

⌖ Preston · Paignton

A 13-acre woodland linking the Occombe and Cockington areas, with a network of natural paths. Dogs are welcomed across most Torbay Coast & Countryside Trust sites, but keep them close and follow local signs. Some paths are shared with cycle and freeride routes, with slopes and jumps, so take extra care around riders.
