Description
Exmouth developed as a resort in Georgian times and was once probably the most select seaside resort in Britain, being home to such famous people as Lady Nelson and Lady Byron. Nowadays it offers a rich mixture of immaculate sands, lovely gardens, a busy marina and a wide range of sports facilities that combine to make it an excellent resort for all ages and interests. To the south the resort overlooks Lyme Bay, while to the west it looks across the estuary of the River Exe to the Haldon Hills and Dawlish Warren. There are boat trips aplenty but also lots to do on dry land with good shops, a museum, many old pubs and good walks at every turn. For the more active there is a swimming pool, golf, and all forms of water sports including a sailing school.

Full Day Excursion to Seaton and Sidmouth
Sidmouth is a famously select resort which was regularly visited by Princess Victoria before she became Queen. Huge cliffs rise on either side of the town's Regency architecture. Seaton is a charming resort with a delightful tramway.
Full Day Excursion to Teignmouth and Dawlish
We travel around the estuary of the River Exe to Dawlish, a relaxing resort famous for its attractive gardens and black swans. We continue to Teignmouth; a fascinating ancient port with a myriad of narrow streets. It became a popular resort with the arrival of the railways and still retains its functions as both a port and holiday resort.

Again heading west, we skirt the southern edge of Dartmoor to Buckfastleigh, before turning south to Devon's largest resort, Torquay. Here we have plenty of time to explore the harbour or visit the many shops before returning to Exmouth.
