the local area
The house is located just outside the village of Knowle near Budleigh Salterton.
​
Take a 25 minute walk or a 5 minute drive to wander into Budleigh Salterton for some retail therapy, fish and chips, or of course, to spend the day having seaside fun on the lovely pebbled beach. You can walk the South West Coastal Path to Exmouth in one direction to the West and Sidmouth to the East. Play golf, spot birds on the River Otter, explore Woodbury Common, or why not simply sit on the seafront with an ice cream and watch the world go by?
The National Cycle Route 2 path is just a few minutes walk away from the doorstep of the property and offers 2.3 miles of off-road level cycling and walking to Exmouth. From there, join the 22 ½ mile Exe Estuary Trail which takes you to Exeter and Topsham by bike or on foot, or you can catch the ferry across to Starcross.
Woodbury Common (5 minutes drive away) known as the East Devon Pebblebed Heaths, is a great walking and mountain biking spot and stretches inland from the coast at Budleigh Salterton, 7 miles long and up to 2 miles wide.
Just 30 minutes drive away are the amazing sights of Dartmoor with over 300 square miles of terrain to explore.
​
In addition to lazing on the beach, trying watersports at Exmouth Beach, taking the ferry up the Exe estuary or to Dawlish Warren nature reserve, there’s always Crealy Park theme park, Bicton Park stately home and gardens, the Donkey Sanctuary at nearby Sidmouth, the Cathedral City of Exeter, the Sandy Bay World of Country Life and the all absorbing Jurassic Coastline with its famous fossil deposits stretching eastwards into Dorset. In terms of visitor attractions and coastal lifestyle you won’t find much better than Budleigh Salterton.​​
