About the Axe Valley

If your idea of the perfect holiday is to be surrounded by superb coastal and countryside scenery in the part of Devon many other tourists don't reach - then the Axe Valley is for you.

Perfectly situated between Sidmouth and Lyme Regis the Axe Valley and surrounding area of outstanding natural beauty certainly offers plenty for every member of your family to do.  Our historic River Axe meets the sea at Lyme Bay, now part of the designated World Heritage Site and known as the Jurassic Coast.

Come and experience all the dramatic variety of scenery and activities for yourself, in order to enjoy them to the full!  We find that whatever our visitors' interests - walking, cycling, wildlife, fishing, boating, arts, country crafts, local history or pottering around the unique and individual shops unlike those found on the major high streets - many return year after year, simply because the surroundings are so lovely and they find their holidays so relaxing.

You will appreciate this website can only begin to whet you appetite for all the many delights of the area, which vary from tiny, ancient country villages to the seaside attractions of the area's larger resorts.

Whether you come for a short break or your main holiday, you're certain to find the warmest of Devon welcomes wherever you stay, from one of our superbly situated caravan parks, through attractive bed and breakfast and self catering cottages to excellent inns and hotels.  For self-caterers, there is a range of good old-fashioned food shops selling fresh local produce and all our visitors will be spoilt for choice when it comes to choosing where to eat and drink.

The Tourist Information Centre is here to help you plan your holiday, and will be happy to book accommodation or send brochures on any of the attractions in the area.

We look forward to welcoming you

to our beautiful valley in 2010!
