The local area
The ancient town of Ottery St Mary is famous for its impressively imposing Medieval church, and unusual circular tumbling weir on the River Otter. This picturesque town has been a hub of literary inspiration for hundreds of years, most recently featuring in Harry Potter’s adventures as Ottery St Catchpole.
Situated on the edge of the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, yet just a 20 minute drive from the Cathedral city of Exeter, visitors to Ottery St Mary will find there’s a huge variety of things to see and do.
The town itself boasts a ramshackle collection of excellent independent shops and eateries, and is a walker’s paradise, with almost 100 different walks to choose from, varying from level walks along the banks of River Otter where you may spot a family of otters or beavers, to hills from where you can enjoy views as far as Dartmoor on a fine day.
Nearby Wildwood at Escot offers a brilliant family day out. Set in over 200 acres of stunning parkland, here you can come face to face with some of the wildlife that used to live in Devon, including red squirrels, lynxes and wild boar. There’s also a maze, hidden playground, drop slide, indoor play barn, and Anglo Saxon village to explore.
For days out by the seaside, the coastal towns of Seaton, Beer, Sidmouth and Budleigh Salterton are all just a short drive way – each offering access to the magnificent World Heritage Jurassic Coastline, with its impressive cliffs, coastal walks, fossil hunting opportunities and family-friendly beaches to enjoy.
A holiday cottage in Ottery St Mary provides a great base from which to enjoy the many and varied rural and coastal charms of East Devon and neighbouring Dorset.
