Top 21 things to do and attractions in Exmouth

Such a brilliant place. My partner and I came here with my sister, brother in law, niece and nephew on a sunny Saturday in June and I think we had as much fun as the kids! A great balance of museum (although you feel old when you see a bedroom from the '80s in a museum, haha), play areas, animals, fun and education. The staff were absolutely brilliant, so fun, engaging, and enthusiastic, always happy to help and chat, especially one larger than life member of staff called Nick. Plenty of play areas, inside and out, the kids loved them. Timed events - there's always something going on and time went so quickly. Animal handling, ferret racing, bottle feeding lambs, walking a goat, bird of prey display. Plenty of hand washing facilities. The animals look well looked after and you can feed most of them with the free animal feed they give you at the entrance. We didn't book in advance online but didn't have to wait long in the queue to get in. We took our own packed lunch, and left it in the car and were allowed out to get it. Plenty of benches to eat it on. Free water available to refill drinks, but we did also buy soft drinks there. We bought 6 ice creams at £16 which i thought was quite reasonable compared to some places I've been. Free onsite parking with plenty of space. Definitely worth paying an extra £2.50 to go on the deer train, that was the highlight of our day. What a wonderful place. Kids and adults had a great day out.

Such an amazing place to visit. Has to be one of our favourite attractions around - so much to do and see. All the events are fantastic and every member of staff is lovely. The animals are well cared for. Whenever we visit my daughter and I can’t stop grinning, thank you to everyone here. To John and his wife especially - your enthusiasm really shines through and you make a world of difference. Ferret racing is still hilarious after the 10th time, and the deer train is a unique experience.

Very interesting place. Especially for those interested in old vehicles. Very impressive collection of old cars. We loved the exhibition of old farming machinery and how high streets used to look like. So much to learn about recent history and daily living! We took a ride on the deer train which was also very enjoyable:)

We found the whole experience wonderful from start to finish. The oldie farming vehicles were particularly of interest as we live in a rural community. Feeding and walking the goats was as good as it gets and what a thrill everyone had in feeding the herd of deer by hand as well as the odd llama or two. The deer train ride was very informative from the highly energetic and enthusiastic John who also appeared as compare for the ferret racing. He was very helpful throughout our visit. The bird of prey demonstration appealed to all ages with the little ones being kept on their toes by the youthful nature of the birds. There was ample health and safety messages and plenty of hand washing facilities on site. It was a lovely day all round and we would love to re- visit when down this way again.

This place was a lot of fun for me and my littles. The museum side was great fun for all 4 of us to look around and the playgrounds, animal feeding and ferret racing was a blast. A great day out ☺️

Lovely park very family orientated good for children. We loved the birds of prey display and got to have a photo taken with them. Lots of old machinery cars& bikes . Very good value for money spent 4 hours in total

Lovely place to go with the family. They have lots of things to do and places to explore, from feeding the animals to ferret racing. Feeding the lamas and deer on the deer train was an experience my little ones will not forget in a hurry!!

We booked a short trip on the Tudor Rose to scatter my husband's ashes at sea, and his mum's ashes too. We were well looked after by Will and Kev who made sure we knew what we were doing and were so friendly. We had 4 small children with us, who loved the trip and it was so much nicer than an ordinary funeral. We scattered the ashes with petals and roses and the children blew bubbles - a lovely way for them to say goodbye to their grandad who loved the sea and boats and especially Budleigh Salterton. We then raised a glass to Geoff and Buddy and the children had ice-cream. We were lucky with the weather too, a great tribute and fitting way to remember them both. Thank you Will and Kev, and Amanda who helped us to make the arrangements. I can't recommend Stuart Line Cruises highly enough.

Second time we did a trip and it was as good as the first. Very easy to book and very organised. The captain gave us a good commentary on the way out. The facilities on board are good. There is a bar serving hot and cold drinks and snacks (crisps/choc bars). You can go and get them yourselves or wait for someone to come and take your order. We were on the upper deck which was outside and were given blankets and umbrellas as the weather was a bit changeable. You could also go inside where it was dry and warmer. I really recommend them for a lovely day out.

We booked a private Cruise for the Exetraordinary Women WI Summer Party and had the most amazing evening. The booking process with Amanda was so smooth and professional and nothing was too much trouble. The catering options were very good and we went for the BBQ. It was all cooked fresh on the boat and was excellent with great quality burger, sausage and salad. There were even leftovers so people could have seconds. The vegetarian option was just as good and everyone was so pleased for the price. The bar staff were very efficient and the bottles of wine came out chilled all night - perfect. Overall we had an amazing night and are looking to book next year as it was such a success and would certainly recommend them for a great evening cruise.

I have been on 3 different trips this year so far and each was great. The staff are always welcoming and get the balance between being friendly and still professional.

Had a wonderful cruise along the coast complete with cream tea. Scones were already loaded with cream and jam yes, but I can,t see how you could do it yourself on bouncing boat at sea. Very informative commentary. All crew were very happy and helpful. Can,t wait to visit again for another trip. Thanks for a lovely afternoon! I even got a September sun tan

Great day out. Be warned. They prepare the cream tea before and serve it already loaded with jam and cream. I asked for mine to have only a little cream and I would like to do it myself. The response I got from the member of staff was that they don’t have time to serve it like that. I explained nicely that I’m a bit fussy but she did get a bit frustrated. I did get the spare scone with just jam on and it was absolutely delicious. Our party of four had a great time and loved it. Customer service was just a bit rude by one member with my requirements.

Professionally run boat trips around Exmouth and beyond. Prices are very reasonable compared to others. Booked the mini cruise and the Dawlish round robin, returning by train alongside the river via Exeter.

We had a fantastic visit to A La Ronde!! We did a walking tour of the estate with Nigel and he was great fun, I really enjoyed the tour. We then ventured inside and there were plenty of volunteers dotted throughout. We grabbed lunch from the food van on site and the staff there were fantastic too. This was a lovely national trust and I loved how it looked like a moomin house!

What a lovely day my sister & I spent here. Privileged to be on the last tour of the grounds lead by the fabulously knowledgeable lady guiding us. Superb coffees & pasties from the snack hut. To top it off a fantastic wander round this gem of a house thanks to 2 incredible cousins from a bygone age when women simply didn't live their lives like this. Lovely guides patiently asking on all their knowledge even tho we were last out on the last open day of this year. Will be back! As a bonus we scanned both QR codes to give a marvellous view of the shell gallery & guided tour of the house to rewatch once home

Beautiful house! Well maintained with beautiful shells and feather collection/decorations. The volunteers are very friendly with lots of knowledge about the house and people who lived there. The van has great drinks, cakes, soups, scones and panini's.

Caretakered by the National Trust unfortunately visiting is closed for the season so going to return early summer next year. Managed a few snaps from the roadside the gardens and building is very well kepted over looking the river exe. This year the cost to visit was £11 per Adult there is also a option to become a member of the the National Trust as an annual member where there's great savings to be had if your looking to visit more sights over a year savings start after you've visited 7 or 8 places so well worth considering. All in all easy to find and located in beautiful grounds this rare 16 sided building overlooks the River Exe definitely going to come back to see insidem

TL;DR absolutely awesome This properA la Ronde had been on my to-visit list for years. I finally found myself in the area with a few hours to spare. I expected to spend maybe an hour — small house, in and out in twenty minutes, quick coffee, and move on. I ended up spending THREE hours there. There wasn’t a single flaw I could find. This was, hands down, the best National Trust experience I’ve ever had. The volunteers and staff were genuinely kind and friendly. The place was spotless — even the toilets smelled fresh. The second-hand bookshop is well stocked with a lovely selection of books. The tea, coffee, ice cream, and lemonade were all delicious. You can sit in the shade of fruit trees in the orchard or enjoy the sunshine on the lawn in front of the house, with views over the River Exe and Exmouth. The grounds aren’t vast, but they’re perfect for a gentle stroll, with benches thoughtfully placed along the way. And then there’s the house itself. What a curious little place! Seashells and feathers everywhere. And more shells. There’s just so much to see and marvel at. I’ll definitely visit again — and next time, I’m bringing the whole family.

A pleasant visit to A la Ronde. We were there for about 3 Hours , enjoying the scenery and views and having the guided tour, it's worth doing the tour first. The house although small was very interesting. The pop up cafe was good. You could have a much shorter visit if you were pushed for time.

This little gem of a National Trust venues is a pearl in the crown of the beautiful county of Devonshire. The house itself is steeped in history. Owned by two sisters the hexadecagon shape was to facilitate daylight to the house all through the day. The gem of the house itself is the shell gallery. Sadly it has become so fragile over the years it is no longer accessible to the public...BUT fear not ye intrepid explorers, because now in the lower levels not only is there a recreation of the shell art work adorning the gallery walls. You can also take a VR head set tour of gallery. Top this off by taking a walk through the grounds or by sitting in the garden enjoying the view with a Devonshire cream tea. Bewarned the scones are the size of doorstops and the cream comes in a mountain. All in all well woth a visit.

One of the best beaches in the UK. At 2 miles from end to end it's an amazing walk with plenty to see along the way. Loads of options to eat and drink as well as amusements, crazy golf and the recently built lifeboat center. Plenty of beach based activities too with lifeguard cover. Honestly the best beach, I've been coming here several times a year for the last 2 decades. Lovely!

The overall vibe is relaxed and friendly. There are also plenty of amenities nearby, including cafes and shops, making it a convenient and enjoyable destination for the whole family, including your four-legged friends. Exmouth Beach is a definite must-visit if you’re looking for a beautiful, dog-friendly coastal escape.

Spent a day at exmouth and had a beautiful time. This beach is sandy, which makes a nice change from the other beaches along this coast. Dog friendly either end, with lots of rock pools and space for dogs/ kids to run around. There are toilets and a lovely cafe next to the beach as well. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Very clean and calm - granted it was a Monday during school term. However, I am very impressed that they keep a reasonable sized area of the beach that allows dogs all year round. My 7 year old Labrador loved it; it was his first time on a beach and being by the sea

Beautiful clean beach on a beautiful clear sunny day. There's so much to see and do. There was a brave man swimming in the sea which was great to see. I finger tested the water and it didn't feel as cold as I was thinking it would. It's normally a 25 minute drive from Exeter but on the day I drove there it took 60 minutes because there were roadworks with 2 temporary traffic lights. I tried stem ginger ice cream and a latte from one of the food vendors and both were really nice. Overall a great day out with lots to see.

Lovely deep sandy clean beach. rock pools when tide goes out. Lifeguards present. Sufficient parking. Toilets I think were 40p to access by tapping card, clean toilets. One small cafe near the lifeguard shop.

Beautiful sandy beach with clear water, perfect for families, ideal for walk or picnic, etc. It's supported by life guards. There are restaurants and bars on the seafront with great food!

We passed by here and thought we'd have a little look inside (not from around here, came for a Haven holiday) saw they had a soft play so we took our 17 month old. Spent a good 2 hours here she loved it, staff were nice and friendly, nice clean play area and seating area. Think we were lucky as weren't busy at all! Lovely views as well. Would definitely visit again if we was in the area.

Have been here to eat and just for coffee sometimes, has always been great. Until tonight don't know what happened! Great staff but tonight waiting almost an hour for our food order. Drinks arrived promptly no problem but the food no. We ordered 2 x nachos which looked like they had been chucked on the plate. Presentation not good. No jalapeños no cheese. Got the money back on one and ordered something else for the replacement for other one. Can only put it down to short staffed as normally very good. Disappointed tonight.

If (!) there is anyone in charge of F&B here, they should be ashamed. Staff unable to setup a table for a reservation of over a week ago and did so a la minute. Only acted once asked, although another birthday table was already setup with bells and whistles and stood empty for 2 hrs. Food was below par on all dishes tried. Beef Burger patty was the only highlight from the whole table. Factory made but tasted decent and the texture was good. Plant based burger a disaster, peas and mash which were crumbed and deep fried, burger buns burnt. Pizza - looks and tastes like a first attempt by a 10yo in a Food Tech class but not shy to charge £12++ for it. The only thing that was actually enjoyed without fuss was the damn cold beer which came in the right branded glases, temperature and proper fizz..this is why it's 2* and not 1* - although Peronis had to be repoured for another customer because they were flat ... The wait at the bar was painful. Maybe team overwhelmed with busy Easter Saturday but it's not a random holiday once in a blue moon, these things you plan ahead and prepare for, stock up and staff up. Overall a total disappointment with no mention of the birthday that we booked for. Won't be coming again, not even for a beer unless the management pulls their socks up and turns this place around. Absolute shame and a waste of incredible location and space to run an operation with quality of 1990's where you may have got away with it, people less travelled and less clued up on basic food tastes. It may be in far remote beach part of Exmouth, which is not the #1 travel hot spot in the UK but that's no excuse and with attitude and quality like that, it can never have hope of climbing up any ranks.

Nice place, the food was nice and a decent portion just not very hot. The cider was nice and cold and refreshing. Staff were friendly.

We was lucky enough to go to a wedding the staff could not do enough for everyone. Very friendly and helpful. Very clean and comfortable. Food was fantastic and the G J was brilliant. And the views were outside we had a beautiful sunny day and to sit out and look over exmouth was amazing. Everyone who was there all enjoyed it . So thank you everyone at ocean for making this day Very special 💙

This is a great place to nip into it’s not the cheapest place but it’s nice. The staff are very nice too. Lots to do as well for the kids can be a bit expensive. I would definitely recommend it. We had a nice time here.

Awesome restaurant with huge play area and bowling. Great for customers with allergies. The play area is really big, with lots of apparatus for children to burn off all their energy. It's clean and well run, but it is a maximum two hour stay at busy times. Drinks and snacks are available and there is a separate bar if you need a bit of peace and quiet. The restaurant is a great reason to visit the Ocean complex. The food is excellent, as is the friendly service and nice selection of alcoholic drinks. It is also dog friendly and even has its own dog menu. Our daughter has a severe peanut allergy and the manager Justin went out of his way to have a conversation with us about the menu. He then checked the products and spoke with the kitchen staff to make them aware. He even remembered us visiting the previous year. Superb. This kind of service is few and far between, most restaurants don't care. Would definitely recommend and with prices that won't break the bank we will be using again.

I came back to visit Exmouth, having lived here as a child with my family in the late 60's. The museum was interesting - they need a larger facility for their displays and are trying to raise more funds. The volunteers were helpful and very passionate about the town and the information.

Nice museum Only £2.50 to enter Helpful staff they explained things to you

Really good little museum with lots of interesting items in it. It £2.50 per person to get in. The staff were very friendly and full of local facts and stories.

Very small entrance fee, £2.50 per person but very well worth it. I even suggested that they charge more. However, I was shocked to hear that some people walk out when they are informed of the entrance fee! Some of the items on display brought back lots of memories from my childhood. It is very nostalgic and worth a visit.

Lovely little museum in Exmouth. Has some interesting facts about Exmouth. Children go free and adults are £2.50. We popped in due to the weather but glad we did. The staff are very friendly and will happily give you more information.

Excellent museum. Staff very friendly and helpful.

A small but interesting museum mainly with a story about Exmouth and wartime Exmouth.

Cafe visit 30th July 2025. 30% capacity 14:00hrs. 40 minute wait for two kids meals and two toasties. Kids meals came out 10mins apart even though they were both sausages. Staff no manners, no acknowledgement of the circus they were running out back. Manager (dark green) out on break, another manager (the guy pictured who didn’t have a care in the world) had a poor attitude whilst covering. Won’t rush back, good potential place otherwise with the right staff and attitude. Toastie pictured £11.

A great Venue to watch the Tribute Bands we enjoy, not to large and not too small. They always have a good selection of quality Acts booked, and the attached good value Cafe means we can book a table, drive over from Honiton, find Parking and have a meal in comfort before the Show. A stand-out feature is their friendly and helpful Staff.

Nice little venue. Got to say the sound wasn't a great mix as you could hardly hear the instruments cutting through but not sure if it was a house pa / desk or the bands

Really good venue. Service and staff were excellent. Shame about the security staff on the night, which is a separate company from the Pavilion, most unpleasant to me and my friend, we'll just leave it there 😕 other than that, excellent night.

Filming an opera night at this great venue. They have a cafe where you can have a nice meal while you are waiting.

Simple café with simple meals and friendly staff.

Great show, lovely theatre

Lovely pub in nice part of Exmouth. Over the road from the beach. We had curried parsnip soup which was too spiced with curry unfortunately but was OK if u liked it hot/spicy. Then toad in the hole which was a large Yorkshire pudding with three large sausages, swede, carrots, red onion and kale put in the Yorkshire pudding. It was very filling and sausages etc tasted good. No room for pudding. Bit on pricey side. We paid over 70 for 2 with a bottle of pinot but lovely location in the summer I shld imagine.

Lovely place for a drink. Nice atmosphere, welcoming vibes, good staff, quick service. Reasonable choice of ales. Btw no booking required so just pop in. Surely be back when in area again.

We stayed in Exmouth recently and ate here twice but came back for drinks and a couple of games of cards every evening! The food was wonderful but the staff were even better! We were looked after by Sophy, Katie, Eleanor and James across the three visits and were hugely impressed by them all - they were friendly and welcoming and remembered us even after our first visit! Would definitely recommend a visit here if you’re in the area - particularly on a Sunday for a roast dinner!! 👌🏻 best roast I’ve had for a long time!

Amazing food as always. We will definitely come back as we did many times. Thank you.

What a treasure this place is. The staff are wonderful. The customers are funny. The places is beautiful. The food is good. The drink options are lovely. What’s not to love.

Booked tonight and welcomed by lovely staff. Looked through the menu and made two choices of mains. The food arrived and definitely didn't dissapoint. The pie as delicious and full of flavour. My wife had sausage with bubble and squeak this was amazing followed by a very ample portion of crumble. The service was brilliant and a great atmosphere. My best experience so far in Exmouth. Thank you all and see you soon.😋👍

Sat upstairs for the view. Sunday roast good, quick service, staff cheerful, nice to see families enjoying a meal out. Liked the pictures on the wall (natural history). Large portions, the Yorkshire was a pudding to far for me.

Book online. You want an 90 minutes to 2 hours for the castle alone. We rushed a visit into 1 hour, but I'd like to hear a full tour from the excellent tour guides. Well worth a visit, the free tours are massively worth it, they make the whole thing make sense. Interesting to hear about who did what to the building... AND WHY!! 🤣 Our guide was Andy and if we return next year, I will try to find out if he's volunteering that day. The family still live there so there's only so much that you can see. And of course, a place built in the 1700s needs a lot of work and money spent on it, but oh man it's fabulous. Nice cafe with lovely cakes, and great friendly yet professional service. Next time I'll ask for my black coffee to be a bit stronger ie less water. Farm shop is typical but big and well stocked, not cheap. Lovely staff - again. We'll definitely be visiting again next year, and take in more tours.

Thank you Andy for a wonderful tour! Thanks to the other staff members too for making our visit really special. Never have I met a more welcoming and helpful team. Powderham Castle is lucky to have you all, and is beautiful! Will be happy to return. Our dog also had the best time on her first Castle trip! Friendly for all the family 💙.

What a fantastic place. They offer guided tours which we didn't go on as we prefer to explore at our own lesuire, but all the staff were so informative and enthusiastic and couldn't wait to show us all the hidden secrets of the building. We spent about 2hrs exploring the building, we were particularly impressed with the music room and the main stair case. We then had a wander outside through the gardens and watched the deer. The cafe was unfortunately closed but there is a small shop near the carpark offering drinks and snacks. There are also walks within the grounds that we didn't do on this occasion but would definitely look to do next time. If you like history, old buildings and staff who are really informative and enthusiastic then this is the place for you.

This is a beautiful home, and a great opportunity to explore. Limited gardens, but still very lovely. However, the thing that really makes this visit special is the guided tour. Dave you are a legend and your knowledge, humour and care are greatly appreciated. Watch out for those secret doors.

We had a great day at the food fayre, although I can't say that the hot food on offer was worth the price, perhaps I picked the wrong stall. There was quite a variety of vendors and I really enjoyed the talk on making bacon. We did visit the castle too, we had been before and it was great to see the changes they've made. All in all a nice day out, there was a lot of entertainment for children too.

We couldn't go exploring on the estate as there was a shoot on, but it didn't bother us. The house was very interesting, the guide was extremely knowledgeable. She was very complimentary regarding the owner and we got the impression it's a happy workplace.

As it was in October some of the garden and grounds were not open which was a shame but still had a good time. Went on the guided walk which was really good. There were still some roses which had a lovely scent. Good views of the deer.

This is one of Devon's best-kept secrets. It is not a National Trust property, so it doesn't benefit from their exposure and marketing. It is truly a spectacular experience. If you want to appreciate all its wonderful trees, plants, different garden styles, and plant 🪴 houses, you could easily spend a few days here. This is a botanist's paradise with some of the rarest trees and plants from all across the globe. This garden is in the top 60 for species diversity and density worldwide. There are over 1500 different tree species alone, with many among the largest in the country. Among the many attractions are a miniature railway that will take you around the estate, a museum of horticultural artefacts, and a picturesque lake. If you are visiting the West Country, this is the one attraction you must visit. There's a cafe for refreshments but only a limited selection. If you are coming for a whole day ( recommended ), I would advise having a hearty breakfast beforehand.

This is a beautiful garden set in a landscaped area and dates back over 200 years. There is a charge to enter but you can easily spend a full day here exploring the different gardens and features. There is a narrow gauge train that takes you through the park and gardens with an additional charge but worth the cost. For younger members of the family, there is a soft play area which if you come with young children they provide a free pass and here you will also find refreshments. In the park you will find a Country museum which has some very interesting exhibits and audio visual displays. There is a good value cafe area with a wide selection of hot food and the obligatory Devon cream tea should you wish.

A beautifully maintained garden and grounds. So much interest especially the museum. Cafe serves a wide range of food and beverages at reasonable prices. Lots of activity areas for children. The miniature railway is well worth a ride for adults and children alike. Some lovely walks which are well signposted. Overall a really great place to visit.

Wow, what a beautiful place 😍 loved our visit. Stunning grounds. Loads for kids to do, including a miniature train. Really friendly staff. Dog friendly. My only one negative is the cafe, it was expensive for what you got, my JP had minimal filling.

We used to visit here when my children were young and it was great for them to return as adults. Expensive entry fee, but worth it if you can spend most of the day here. Beautiful gardens, arboretum and glasshouses. Shame the trees around the car park have been filled. Good food in the cafe but limited choice. Friendly and helpful staff. Absolutely wonderful collection of trees from around the world including some many national champions, veteran oaks, beeches, chestnut and others.

9 Oct - brilliant sunshine- fantastic staff - pleased to greet "recycled Teenagers" Why would'nt you buy an annual entrance ticket. The Italian gardens in splendid colours and manicured lawns, dahlia beds a picture. Yes, the Autumn sunshine enhanced the colours of trees, most notably, encouraged all visitors to be cheerful and friendly. Look forward to next visit.

Large beautiful garden's and woodlands,grow rare and endangered tree's and plants various hot houses ,kids play area's disabled friendly and parking,good cafe plenty of choices eat in or out, good paths,well worth the money.

The outer edge of Exmouth beach cliff area holding Orcombe point and spectacular nature beauty. Buttercup fields spreading on miles. You can have Exmouth beach view from top as well. For going up you can follow SW coast path up high. Very nice trail for a walk at Jurassic coast. Orcombe Point is marked by the Geoneedle which was unveiled by Prince Charles in 2002. This area has 185 millions years history of fossils. Worth for a walk

Exmouth is where Exeter goes to exhale; a broad, golden sprawl at the mouth of the River Exe that manages, against the odds, to be both charming and slightly chaotic. From above, it looks like someone smeared custard across the bottom edge of a map, which is oddly fitting: it’s warm, a bit messy, and somehow still inviting. It’s the flagship of local beaches on the south side, and on a sunny weekend, you’ll find half the county there, doing their very best to have a good time and mostly succeeding. Parking is a bit of a sport. Not impossible, but you’ll need a bit of luck or a strong sense of optimism. Public transport is more of a gentle suggestion than a reliable option, though it does exist if you're patient and not in any particular hurry. That said, if you’ve got a blue badge, things improve noticeably. With a little persistence, patience and insider knowledge, you’ll likely find a spot and feel quite smug about it. Head along to Orcombe Point and the beach changes character completely. The neat and orderly sand gives way to something far more dramatic; towering red sandstone cliffs, ancient and unapologetically wild. This is the beginning of the Jurassic Coast, and it wears its age with pride. There’s something grounding about standing at the edge of a landscape that was already old when dinosaurs wandered across it. Dogs are allowed year-round at this end which is a small mercy for anyone accompanied by something furry and enthusiastic. The only real catch is that access past the point is tide-dependent. There were steps once but long gone now, so you’ll need to keep an eye on the sea and pick your moment. It adds a touch of adventure, really, and makes getting there feel like a little victory. Beyond the cliffs, the beach gets quieter, rougher, and altogether more interesting. Rock pools appear, little ecosystems in miniature, and kids race between boulders with nets and plastic buckets like it’s still 1953. You can swim here too. The water’s bracing but clean enough if you time it right, and if you can overlook South West Water’s occasional lapses in civic responsibility, it’s genuinely refreshing.

Lovely walk with stunning views, some mild gradients. Suitable for young and old, but not accessible for mobility scooters and wheelchairs much past the spire (or whatever you want to call the large pointy thing). Keep away from the edge as there was evidence of erosion/ minor cliff fall along the route.

What a place! It's really amazing. Wonderful place for visit. You can park your car on the carpart and take a walk.

Drove to foxholes car park and walked to orcombe point .very windy exposed.carried on to sharp point then turned back to start but carried on to exmouth town passed life boat station. Nice day

Lovely walk along the South West Coastal Path, from Exmouth to Budleigh Salterton.

A beautiful Walk from Devon Cliffs Holiday Park over the Hills to Orcomble Point. Lovely views and a nice clean coastal path. Quite hilly so not suitable for people with mobility issues.

Fabulous!!! Great to see so many birds on display and watching them fly was as always breathtaking. There was an opportunity to hold the birds using a glove and have your photo taken if you wished. Very reasonably priced fabulous photos ready in minutes nicely mounted to take home. The owners were friendly, more than happy to explain the upkeep of the birds and very informative about their species.

Absolutely brilliant 1/2 day experience with these amazing birds. The staff are very informative and friendly. I would recommend this experience to anyone who has an interest in birds of prey

I had the 1hr experience which was amazing price at £45 and if u book in advance u get to go around the World Of Country Life free. There’s seven birds in total, I’ve only posted these coz the others are videos.

I had a half day experience on 17th September 2022 and throughly enjoyed it. Sharon and Simon where friendly, knowledgeable and professional. Getting up close, holding and feeding the birds was an amazing experience and highly recommended. I felt safe and relaxed straight away and all the birds were calm and friendly especially when you are the one with the food! The big owl Echo was my favourite and can't wait to go back again! Thank you Natasha

The experience of flying birds of prey with The Hawkridge falconers was incredible. An experience not to be missed, worth booking the extra experiences to have an amazing personalised session and to interact with the birds with your own private session. A truly magical experience to be so close to magnificent majestic birds. Baldric was a wonderful surprise as we had no idea which birds we would get to fly, so flying a bald eagle was breathtaking. All of the crew are incredible and made the experience wonderful, they are a pleasure to meet and truly talented people. By buying any experience you are supporting their bird sanctuary and they really are doing amazing work. Thank you to all of you at hawkridge for one of the best experiences ever, unforgettable.

A truly magical afternoon flying, handling, feeding and marvelling at a selection of raptors -- both large and small. The tuition and instruction inspired confidence, even with the Eagle, and the knowledge and factoids imparted by the owners was fascinating. Enthralled by the birds, we immediately overcame the initial squeamishness of handling and feeding them raw chicken pieces and dead chicks! We absolutely 100% recommend this experience. BRILLIANT.

My husband had the most enjoyable experience at the Hawk Centre. Very informative & friendly staff & amazing experience. Thoroughly recommend.

Myself and 7 girlfriends had the best 90 mins pottery painting… staff were great and a really lovely way to spend a Saturday afternoon

I bought what I think was the best choc chunk cookie I’ve ever had from here. Coffee was excellent, and the art round the walls was fabulous. We’ll be back!

Lovely art café with homemade biscuits and cakes. Fresh coffee quickly served by friendly staff and plenty of other drinks available. Quirky seating, and lots of art to see, do, or buy. Recommended.

We stopped to look at the art in the window and ended up with cocktails and a chat with very friendly hostess. Lovely quirky little place.

Awesome place! Fantastic variety of art and quirky furnishings. Had honey halloumi ciabatta and basil/mozzarella focaccia - so delicious. Would highly recommend.

Lovely little coffee shop/bar with some beautiful artwork

What a surprise to find this stunning cycle route, mostly off road and on boardwalks. Absolutely stunning views. When you arrive in Topsham there is plenty to do. Then the stunning ride back.

LOVELY WALK ALONG THE TRACK TO BUDLEIGH

No parking space at all you need to park off street before you reach a Haven holiday park then walk down about 15 mins to get the beach, beach is sandy and plenty of space for everyone, usually sea water is calm and suitable for small kids

We went to Devon Cliffs for a week and visited this beach nearly every day. It was cleaned every morning by a tractor raking the sand. There is a bar open most days selling a variety of soft drink and alcohol with a seating area too. We love this beach as it’s safe for children and close to amenities

I do not recommend this beach. The parking area has now been made private and is only accessible to people staying at the nearby campsite. The person at the gate was aggressive and threatened to call the police if we didn’t park outside even though the parking lot itself was nearly empty. Be aware that if you’re not staying at the campsite, you’ll have to park far away and walk around 30 minutes to reach the beach.

Great place for a holiday for a families lots of things to and right on the beach.

Great place for a costal walk. Fresh air, sea breeze, large sandy beach. Lots of walks. Plenty of parking. Lots of nearby amenities, bars, restaurants etc. A nice afternoon out. Recommended.

A very nice beach. Families with children love it.

Lovely Sandy beach, stunning views from the beach and over the beach from the coastal path. The red clift is stunning. The shooting range is awful with the sound of shoots, it takes away the charm of this beautiful beach. Check the tide tables if you want to walk from or to Exmouth beach.

Nice little walk and picnic spot with bbq facility.

Most definitely the best campervan park up we have been to. Great views over the sea. Lots of people walking, jogging, cycling all just enjoying the beautiful seafront. Great value for money. Thank you, Exmouth Council.

I'm giving five stars, only because it's impossible to give ten of them. Or, better, eleven. The weather was was quite good for November 😜🤪 although our visit took place on 25th of July. Stunning landscapes out of this world are still present in my dreams

We attended here in a group and made use of the barbecue facilities. It was picturesque, lots of space with nearby parking.

The Maer is a lovely open space, perfect for dog walking, picnicking and BBQ's. There are public toilets that, unfortunately, are only open during April to October. There's also a fenced in play area for children. The Maer used to be a golf links and due to the amount of sand never gets muddy so is perfect to walk on all year round!

Cracking little beach, with great facilities around it. Clean and picturesque and never appears too busy. Great parking around it with lots of shops, eateries and simply spots to sit and take in the view. Sun rise or sunset are both worth being there for on this lovely area.

Medium sized garden center who have a great selection of plants around the coffee shop. In mid September we found 3 excellent plants for our rockery at reasonable prices. Worth trying to find.

The staff at Greenfingers are wonderful. I called from the States to order a plant as a gift for a friend in Lympstone. They went out of their way to be helpful. I was sent an email with loads of photos of trees and houseplants and pot options. Once selected, I paid over the phone and they took care of delivery. There was a delivery and potting charge, but I felt they were very reasonable costs. I then received a follow up email that it had been delivered. Each time on the phone the staff could not have been kinder or more helpful. It's a family owned business, not a chain. I highly recommend everyone in the area should shop there. I've included a photo of the houseplant that we had gifted.

Absolutely stunning breakfast amazing hash browns all homemade even the baked beans absolutely five star breakfast on this place best breakfast I had a very very long time

The Arc cafe at Greenfingers Garden Centre does an excellent breakfast! Really good quality ingredients, well presented and a set in a really nice open space. We've been a few times now and it's been great every time!

Nicely arranged garden centre with plenty of parking. Stopped here for the cafe which offers jackets, scones, paninis, sausage sandwiches, cakes etc. Food was good and cooked fresh. Reasonably priced too. Nice little seating area outside if the tables inside are all taken.

Love this place. Picked up some plants and a net for the fish pond. Great shop selling beautiful cards and gifts.

Always awesome quaility plants. Popped in for compost and ended up with loads of plants as well. Had my 1 year old with me, and the staff grabbed another trolly and took my compost direct to my car. Always helpful.

Great to have a cafe in the park and near the loos

One of the nicest parks in Exmouth for kids or dogs

Nice

Excellent, fresh and relaxing!

It good

Not good place

Excellent

Anna’s work bursts with colour and vibrancy, just like her personality! I am lucky enough to own two of her original pieces as well as a print. I commissioned her to do a special painting as a gift and it is quite honestly the most beautiful thing... she is uniquely gifted and such a wonderful encourager to other artists too. I would highly recommend a visit to her studio, you will come away filled with happiness and possibly a fantastic piece of art too!

Anna is one of the most creative and inspirational people I have ever met. Not only is she unbelievably talented she is a genuinely kind person. An artist in every sense of the word, her work is a perfect addition to your home, office, hotel or any wall that craves a splash of colour and fabulousness! Her work stands the test of time and is an essential investment for any art collector.

Anna is such an amazing artist, I love how her animals have so much personality and how they seam to play in there surroundings! Anna also inspired me to push myself and my art further! She has a wonderful personality herself and is an asset to her community, constantly helping and organising events to benifit both the community and fellow artists.

I am a little biased being Anna’s husband but she continually amazes me with her beautiful artwork and her creative ideas which are both original and imaginative. I love the way she collaborates unselfishly with other artists and shares her passion. Definitely one proud hubby ❤️

Visited with my 2 young children who were entertained by cats and a little tortoise whilst I enjoyed looking at Anna's amazing artwork. She was working on a project whilst we visited but we were made very welcome! Will visit again for sure!

I am a huge Anna Fitzgerald fan, her work always brings a smile to my face . As well as having a few pictures that I own at home I am lucky enough to have a range of her originals for sale at Infusion art cafe that I get to enjoy every day too . How lucky am I :))) ❤️❤️❤️

One of Exmouth's 'hidden treasures' - A smashing little place to while an hour or so looking at paintings and curios, and talking to the wonderfully warm, gifted and enthusiastic 'artist in residence' Anna Fitzgerald - a great artist, a great character and a great place for a visit.

Beautiful little seaside gallery with artwork and gifts from local creators as well as pieces from local artist Ella herself. Situated on Exmouth seafront in the new Sideshore build Ella’s brings a fresh vibe that Exmouth needs. Well worth a visit if you’re in the area!

Ella’s beachside studio in Exmouth is absolutely situated in such an Idyllic position. She has some amazing artwork of her own to offer & generous to accommodate other local creative people to display their high end wears. Ella is absolutely lovely to speak to about her stories and pieces of art. She is a credit to her beautiful self. Definitely an investment to buy a unique piece from her.

Fabulous artists studio and gallery shop. Positioned on the seafront at sideshore, It's so lovely to be able to visit Ella and see her paiting. Ella paints stunning landscapes and stocks other local creatives work too.

An absolute gem of a find and a great addition to Exmouth seafront. If you’re looking for original, beautiful paintings, prints, endless gift ideas or an original handmade ceramic piece, you have to visit and see the ever changing collections at Ella’s. Be inspired. Enjoy!

Super-talented local artist! I commissioned a painted canvas of a favourite place, but in the shop Ella has lots of her amazing original work for sale, as well as a great selection of other gifts by her and other local creatives.

A beautiful shop with a wide range of bespoke hand crafted products . Ella's designs are simply breathtaking and so skilled. I have bought one of her paintings and it hangs pride of place in my bedroom.

Ella's and her pieces are wonderful. It's lovely to know that when you shop from her, you're supporting local talent. Plus the setting is stunning!
