Powderham Castle has sat beside the River Exe for centuries and has been in the same family all that time! Apart from the Castle and grounds there is a lot to do. Doesn't really matter if it is a rainy day!
Exeter is the county town of Devon and a great place to live and to visit. Plenty of good shops, trips down the River Exe, the racecourse nearby, the Quay side to name a few!
Budleigh Salterton right on the Jurassic Coast at the western end. Lovely little place for a quiet, relaxing holiday. You can get on to the South West Coast Path for a stunning walk. The Esturary is a Site of Scientific Interest and the locality of Budleigh Salterton is part of an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, which just about sums up this delightful area!
Hartland Abbey Opens between the end of March and October. The house started life as a monastery and amazingly survived the Civil War because Henry VIII gave it away and it is still in the same family all these years later. The house, the walled garden and all the paths around make for a great day out.
Bampton is on the edge of the Exmoor National Park. It is a pretty little town with lots of listed buildings. Has won the Britain in Bloom Event on several occasions and has also the distinction of winning the world one in 1999. Incredible.
Tiverton is a most attractive town in mid Devon. On the edge of Exmoor it is an ideal spot for exploring this scenic moor. The castle is open to the public during the summer. The town has two rivers the main one is the Exe which rises in Exmoor and flows down to Exeter.
Newton Abbot The town itself grew into a Victorian railway town from a little market town in the 1800's. The Racecourse, a summer jump course, makes for some good days out.
