croquet, bowls and
golf welcome visitors, while fishing varies from beach to boat, river to reservoir. Energetic walkers; needs are met by strenuous inland and coastal hikes while the stroller can enjoy equally numerous and varied paths at their own pace. For both groups magnificent views and unspoilt countryside are consistent.

gardens, such as Killerton House and

shops in Budleigh, most of the major high street stores in Exeter; where there are also varied theatre productions. While the largest; vessels; taking to the water on the River Otter these days are the plastic ducks in the annual Boxing Day charity Duck Race;a river cruise up the Exe estuary can be a relaxing
trip, starting from the picturesque town of Topsham just six miles west of Budleigh.
