Detailed itinerary

First stop is Seaton and the Axe Estuary, where we will have a quick wonder around the harbour and notorious river mouth, where the tide can reach speeds in excess of 6 knots! (11kph).

Next is a ride up the river Axe estuary on the Seaton Tramway. Whilst riding the tram you'll have the river to your right and a nature reserve to the left. Both of which are teeming with wildlife. Truly one of the areas hidden gems.

A short drive will take us to the small but amazingly pretty fishing village of Beer. The village still maintains a working fishing fleet on the beach, so if you like seafood, this is the place to be.

Next up: A spot of lunch* at the still working Otterton Mill, have a look around this still working water powered mill, complete with turning water wheel.

*Price of food not included.

The last stop is Ladram Bay. The bay is home to impressive sea stacks made of striking red Cretaceous sandstone. Perfect for swimming on a sunny day.
