In a splendid position on the seafront in Exmouth, this pub has fabulous views across the River Exe from the terrace. Enjoy the view and dine al fresco from the Burger Shack. Open daily, food is served throughout the day.
If location is what you're after then this is the place to go. Right on the harbourside, you can sit and watch the world go by all day. The Anchor Inn specialises in seafood but you'll also find lots of other options.
Some of the buildings here wouldn't look out of place in Amsterdam. The Dutch influenced architecture is a legacy from Topsham's days as a major cotton port trading with Holland. This pretty town on the Exe estuary has some lovely shops and restaurants and a large antique centre on the quayside. Walk along the estuary, visit the nature reserves and enjoy watching birds along the river from the bird hides.
A fascinating historical building on the River Exe canal, it is now a pub that has a large garden with the Exe Estuary on one side and Turf Locks on the other. The BBQ area can be hired for BBQ parties, catered or otherwise.
If you have a need to be on the water - this is the place to visit. They offer professional instruction with canoe and kayaking courses.
Definately the place you should visit to stock up on your West Country cheeses before you travel home. You will be spoilt for choice here!
A three day event billed as the biggest party in Devon! With livestock, events, entertainment and trade stands, this is a show not to be missed.
