Five Great Things to Do in East Devon

Inside Beer Quarry Caves
Next Post

If you are planning on visiting Devon, here are five great things to do in East Devon:

Beer Quarry Caves

These underground caves have been quarried since Roman Times and the stone has been used to build both Exeter and St Paul’s Cathedrals and many more historic buildings. The tour of the caves includes wonderful stories of the Brackenbury Pirates, who hid their loot in the caves… www.beerquarrycaves.co.uk

Beer Beach and Fish Shop

This lovely cove of a beach boasts several cafes, where you can while away an hour or two. You can hire deckchairs, beach huts and even small boats to go fishing. If you come home empty-handed from your fishing trip, fear not – you can buy some fresh mackerel from the fish shop to take back to your cottage to barbecue. Beer Crab, Lobster and Lyme bay scallops are also a real treat….. 

River Cottage HQ or Canteen

Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s original and best places to eat. The HQ is an evening-long local feast that does require booking in advance; the Canteen in Axminster is much simpler and is great value…. www.rivercottage.net

Escot

A wonderfully different house and gardens. You can get really close up to the South West’s only breeding Red squirrels, birds of prey and otters; get lost in a maze; wander the beautiful grounds; see the Saxon Village and the working forge; take a Segway Safari or zoom around on a quad bike, and more… www.escot-devon.co.uk

River Exe Café

A completely unique dining experience, and one that can only be reached by water taxi, or your own boat! Moored in the middle of the mouth of the River Exe you can enjoy the wonderful nautical setting whilst enjoying the freshest seafood…. www.riverexecafe.com
