Budleigh Salterton - So much to do
For those who just want to ‘do their own thing’ you can choose from walking the coast path, bird watching on the estuary, exploring local churches, retail therapy in the High Street.
Just sit on the promenade and take in the wonderful views, that on a good day will transport you from Portland Bill in Dorset to Berry Head west of Brixham.
Ideal for Cyclists
The multitude of country lanes in East Devon offer a quiet retreat from busy roads for the keen cyclist. Although we cannot give you a hill-free ride, we can guarantee that once you have made the top of the hill you will be rewarded by superb views from the field gate that you lean against.
There is a cycle track, with several picnic spots along its way, that extends for about 2 miles from the edge of Budleigh to Littleham on the outskirts of Exmouth, along the course of the old railway. Combine this with the lane from Littleham or roads through the leafy residential part of Exmouth and you can cycle from Budleigh to Exmouth seafront, with all its accompanying attractions.
