A quite posh and mildly expensive "farm shop" with loads of local and regional food and drink offerings plus a very good fish and chip shop serving the very freshest mostly locally caught fish. Recommended if you have a deep wallet and a weakness for good food!

Unique experience of dining on a moored "barge" right in the middle of the Exe estuary. Superb fish and seafood and even better if you get the weather right! Ferry service from Exmouth. Booking essential!

Exeter's original "Gastro" pub and arguably still the best. Lots of original and arty touches and remains a true " local". A good appetite is assured after a brisk 20 minute walk across town from the flat!

Great destination to cycle to on a sunny day. Located where the Exeter canal joins the Exe Estuary with great food, local beers but alas- not a hotel any more! check opening times out of season. Can also be accessed by ferry from Topsham when tides are right.

If you've walked, cycled or got the train to Exmouth, this is where you can expect great fish and chips. Best eaten out of the paper on the sea front! Applies to drivers too but you would miss out on a very scenic not to mention eco-friendly train ride along the Exe estuary from Exeter Central.

Exhilarating walk around the Dawlish Warren sand spit starting from Dawlish Warren station after a lovely short but scenic train ride from Exeter St Davids. Either ignore or embrace the initial stretch which is full on amusements and fairground rides!

Just a 15 minute train ride from Exeter Central on the Exmouth line, Topsham is a lovely old riverside town that was once the second busiest port in England. Now a more genteel if "Fulham-ised" sort of place with a variety of shops, restaurants, cafes,and pubs. Good for a day out with lots of good walks.

Plenty of rescued donkeys obviously plus tea room etc but also a good place to enjoy lovely walks along the coast to the village of Branscombe or the regency seaside town of Sidmouth. Free entry and a very worthy cause.
