DawlishOnce a busy resort in Georgian and Victorian times, Dawlish now has a tranquil, relaxed feel. Some fine period architecture adds to the classic English seaside atmosphere and Dawlish has some very pretty ‘civic’ spaces – the Lawn is a public park that provides a beautifully green heart to the town through which a shallow river known as Dawlish Water runs, heading for the nearby sea in a series of small waterfalls; throughout the evening, coloured fairy lights along this waterway create a little magic for strollers.

A la Ronde
English eccentricity at its inimitable best. In the 18th Century two spinster cousins, Jane and Mary Palmer, went on a grand tour of Europe. When they returned to England they had this quirky 16-sided house built and decorated the interior with a fascinating collection of mementoes from their travels. The shell-encrusted gallery is reputed to contain nearly 25,000 shells. Get into the spirit of things while you're here by dressing up as a Regency Lady or Victorian Gentleman. More »

Exmouth
Just ten miles downstream from Exeter, Exmouth sits where the River Exe meets the sea. Famed for its two miles of sand, Exmouth is a well-loved family holiday resort. The area has some fantastic walking, whichever direction you head off in. Along the coast, millions of years of geological history are in evidence in the vibrant red cliffs; the rocks here are older than any others on the Jurassic Coast that stretches through Devon and Dorset. Walking inland is just as lovely; alongside the river to the picturesque village of Lympstone is the perfect way to spend an afternoon. More »
