Channel View, Exmouth, Devon

Exmouth and The Exe Estuary

The western gateway to the World Heritage Jurassic Coast, set at the mouth of one of the most attractive estuaries in Britain, Exmouth offers the holidaymaker advantages of both sea and country with two miles of glorious golden sands surrounded by East Devon's unparalleled beauty.

The fishing village of Lympstone and seaside towns of Budleigh Salterton and Sidmouth are just a few miles drive through the unspoiled countryside;  or for those wishing to venture further, beautiful Dartmoor is a must and the bright lights of bustling Torquay provide a pleasant contrast.  The city of Exeter is nearby, the Cathedral and other historic attractions there being well worth a visit.

Exmouth is an ideal centre for the water sports of swimming, sailing and water skiing.  The sports centre offers even more facilities for the energetic holidaymaker with squash and badminton courts and indoor swimming pool, and there are facilities locally for Tennis,  Bowls, Golf and Pony riding.  The  children will also like the playground with its boating lake, crazy golf and other attractions.

For those who prefer to take life more gently, there are many leisurely pursuits.  These may include simply relaxing and letting the world go by or taking quiet strolls along the seafront or the Exe Estuary Trail to Lympstone and beyond, around the attractive marina, or through the parks and gardens which have deservedly helped the town to win many awards in the annual Britain in Bloom competitions. River and coastal cruises viewing the bird life and heritage coastline, fishing trips and bus tours all help to make Exmouth the complete holiday destination.
