Exeter Chiefs Rugby Union Club
Find a quiet spot on the eastern edge of Sandy Park. The sun sets toward the NW, so you will have the golden light shining on the pitch and stands as the afternoon fades. The park is 3 miles east of the city at junction 30 of the M5.

Stay for the final glow. The light will fade quickly after the golden hour, turning the stadium into a silhouette against the darkening sky.

Check the route to a nearby restaurant in Exeter for dinner. The club is located outside the city center, so you will need transport to get to the evening's food options.
Local tip
Sandy Park is a large venue. If you want to avoid crowds, arrive early to secure a good viewing angle that faces the west.
