The local area
The ancient market town of Axminster is situated in the picturesque Axe Valley, surrounded by clusters of quaint villages and swathes of unspoilt rolling countryside. The town is popular among cyclists, walkers, and bird watchers who will enjoy spotting many different species on the mud flats of the Axe estuary, which can be accessed from the town.
Once famous for its carpets, Axminster is today better known as the home of celebrity chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's delightful River Cottage Canteen, Deli and Cookery School, specialising in fresh locally grown and organic produce. Food lovers will also enjoy pottering around Axminster’s vibrant farmer’s market, which takes place in the town centre every Thursday morning, and has been running in the town since 1204.
Axminster is nestled between three Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty – East Devon, Blackdown Hills and Dorset – all of which are within a very short drive of the town. It is also well placed for visiting the beautiful Cathedral City of Exeter, and accessing the stunning World Heritage Jurassic Coast at nearby Seaton, Lyme Regis, or Charmouth.
The traditional seaside town of Lyme Regis is just 15 minutes away by car, where you can spend the day learning about this unique stretch of coastline at the family-friendly Lyme Regis Museum, try your luck at fossil hunting, enjoy the beach, stroll along the famous Cobb, or treat yourself to a meal at one of the many bars, cafes and restaurants that line the seafront promenade.
A holiday cottage in Axminster offers the perfect base for a relaxing break, taking in the beauty of the surrounding countryside and nearby Dorset and East Devon coastlines.
