LOCATION:
Exmouth, a coastal town in East Devon, is a picturesque location where the River Exe meets the sea. While the two-mile stretch of golden sands and rock pools is a popular attraction, there is much more to explore. At the eastern end of the promenade, visitors can marvel at the impressive 5-meter Geoneedle at Orcombe Point, which marks the beginning of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site. The Exe estuary, located at the western end, is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and home to diverse bird species and other wildlife. The town is surrounded by the stunning East Devon countryside, including several Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Moreover, Dartmoor National Park's legendary tors are just a 40-minute drive away, making it a must-visit destination for nature lovers.

Leisure: Exmouth is a hub for leisure activities, especially water sports like kite sailing, paddle boarding, jet-skiing, and sailing, with a 200-berth marina near the estuary mouth. Outdoor activities such as bird-watching and cycling are also popular. Whether you prefer a leisurely walk or an adventurous hike, plenty of local footpaths are available to explore, including the renowned South West Coast Path. Exmouth also marks the starting point of the East Devon Way, which leads to Lyme Regis.

Education: Exmouth has eight primary schools, one secondary school, and the recently built Deaf Academy, which cost £10.5 million. Post-16 education is available at Exeter College, located nearby, and the University of Exeter offers a wide range of higher education degree courses. Independent schools such as St Peter's Preparatory School in Lympstone, The Maynards School in Exeter, and Exeter School are also available for those seeking private education.

Health: Exmouth offers a variety of healthcare options, including three local medical practices, numerous dental practices, and a minor injuries unit at Exmouth Hospital. The Royal Devon & Exeter NHS Foundation Trust (RD&E) also provides comprehensive healthcare services across Exeter, East Devon, and Mid Devon. The nearby Nuffield Hospital in Exeter is the closest option for those seeking private healthcare.

Transport: Exmouth has great transportation options, with the M5 (junction 30) only 10 miles to the north. This provides access to places such as Taunton (about 50 minutes away), Weston-Super-Mare (about 80 minutes away), Bristol (around one hour and 40 minutes away), Cheltenham (about two hours away), and Birmingham (around three hours away). The M5 also connects to the M4 for trips to London (about four hours) or into Wales. Another route to London is the A303/M3 (about three hours and 40 minutes). Exeter, the nearest city, is about 30 minutes away by road and is located near the M5. You can access South West Devon via the A38. After an hour's drive, you'll reach the historic city of Plymouth and the cross-channel ferry to Brittany.

If you're looking for high-street brands, the historic cathedral city of Exeter (11 miles) is just a short distance away.

Food & Drink: Geographically, Exmouth is surrounded by Lyme Bay, the Exe Estuary, and the East Devon countryside, which together offer an abundance of fresh local produce. For instance, when it comes to fish and chips, Exmouth boasts the 2020 national award-winner Krispies, along with the "floating" River Exe Café, which you can only reach by boat – but it's definitely worth it for the renowned Exmouth mussels. And for special occasions, there's Michael Caine's Lympstone Manor and his Michelin-starred restaurant. Needless to say, for a naughty but nice local treat, there's always a traditional Devon cream tea – with jam on top! There are also a variety of local breweries, vineyards and distilleries – yes, you can get Exmouth gin – along with a great choice of pubs, cafes, restaurants and takeaways, all within easy reach.

Events: Yearly community events include the Exmouth Festival, which offers a week of free music, art and theatre (May/June), the Exmouth Kite Festival, which is a great hit for all ages (August), plus Spirit of the Exe – a splendid foody experience (September) and the ever-popular Christmas Day Swim for the very brave – or you can stay warm and watch!

So rest assured, Exmouth has a comprehensive range of facilities to suit all ages and tastes, either in the town or within very easy reach. And wait until you see one of the fabulous sunsets over the Exe Estuary.
