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.

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.
