COLYTON IS A GREAT BASE TO EXPLORE

COLYTON

Colyton is an old town with a history going back into the middle ages. A central market place, events, lots of facilities to eat & drink, and just down the road from the Jurassic coast, where you can discover your own fossil.

Colyton makes an excellent centre for exploring the delightful countryside of the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and just a short drive to the beautiful beaches at Beer, Lyme Regis, Seaton, Sidmouth, Bridport and Westbay. Exeter, Exmouth and Axminster are also withing easy reach.

LYME REGIS

Going back to the Doomsday book, Lyme is one of the tourist hot spots of the south west. The quaint and stylish seaside town is also gaining a reputation as a foodie’s paradise with numerous seafood bars, bistros and restaurants to choose from. Build your own sandcastle on the sandy beach or take a stroll to the cobb.

axminster

The beautiful traditional market town of Axminster is set on the River Axe within the East Devon Area of Outstanding Beauty and is filled with traditional charm and character. Well worth a visit.
