With its miles of golden sands and spine of lush rolling countryside, Exmouth Beach offers action and tranquillity in equal measures.

Fantastic sandy beach
It's easy to park - with a long and short stay area, and a long prom - ideal for strolling as well as a good sandy beach. It's also easy to walk into the town for a change of scenery and a bite to eat. And there's mini-golf!
Nearest walk
Kennerleigh and Woolfardisworthy (4 ¼ miles)
We've found this lovely little walk (courtesy of DevonLife), through the gentle, rolling hills of mid Devon. Follow the details on their website and enjoy a three and a half mile ramble.
Nearest town
Crediton (5 miles)
Always lively, the market town of Crediton has a thriving town centre with plenty of shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs. Food-lovers, golfers and fishing enthusiasts will all find many good reasons to visit Crediton – some of Devon’s finest fly, coarse and game fishing can be found around the area. Crediton is ideally placed for some fun days out; Dartmoor, with all its opportunity for outdoor activities, is on the doorstep, whilst the historic city of Exeter, great for shopping, is just a few miles down the road.

Free parking and walk for dog
We couldn't go in as we had the dog with us, but the car park was free and there's a nice woodland walk off the car park where dogs can walk off the lead. Nice setting and surrounding countryside.

Stunning
One of the best national trust properties we've ever been to, something for all ages. The gardens are fantastic and offer both formal and woodland styles. Well worth a visit!

Beautiful gardens!
The gardens are the jewel of this property, with many different areas; woodland, formal garden, meadow, parkland and a stunning restored kitchen garden which provides produce for the lovely stables restaurant. Highly recommended and really easy access from the M5.

A really nice place for children to visit, very hands on. Visitors can try on Civil War armour, see the medieval loos, learn about the 900 years of history, the ghosts, secret passages; beautiful garden. Very moderate admission prices, and excellent value for money. Free visitor parking inside.
The Lamb Inn (4 ½ miles)
An old 16th Century coach house with low ceilings, open fires, comfy sofas, a sheltered garden and a great reputation for food. Listed in the Michelin Pub Guide and the CAMRA Good Beer Guide, 2010.

Fantastic Food
Wonderful, friendly pub, fantastic food. Go there and see for yourself! Look round the Church too while you are there.
Killerton House and Gardens (6 ¾ miles)
A fine example of 18th Century architecture, Killerton House is home to a vast collection of period costumes - 9,000 items in all - spanning the fashions of the past 200 years. The gardens are the star of the show at Killerton. Beautiful all year round, they put on a wonderful display of rhododendrons and magnolias, set against the backdrop of Devon's rolling countryside. Open-air theatre is hosted here during the summer.

Really great for out of season walks - acres of woodland on the hill behind the house - discover that the hill is actually an iron age fort ! make sure you wear wellies at this time of year !
