Overview

On one side of Exmouth Beach, the red sandstone cliffs ascend to Orcombe Point, the official start of the Jurassic Coast – the only natural UNESCO World Heritage Site in England.

On the other side, the vibrant Exe Estuary sits teeming with birdlife, a fairly flat cycle path connecting Exmouth with the quaint village of Lympstone, the historic port of Topsham and leading all the way up to Exeter.

In the middle are countless stories of swashbuckling local pirates, smugglers offloading illicit contraband into East Devon, famous residents who found inspiration and solace in the beautiful ocean scenery and a bustling tourism industry, which was the first of its kind in the county and still prospers today.

In my walking tours, I explore Exmouth’s past, present and future, detailing the most fascinating stories from the town’s history with plenty of local recommendations for things to see and do while you’re in town.

She was very knowledgeable guide and had clearly done her homework! Lots of fun facts. She has done a lot of travelling herself and can identify with the crowd. Definitely recommend this tour.

A wonderful and incredibly informative walking tour by Claire. What really impressed was the variety of the tour; from a general overview of the origins and development of Exmouth, the coastline itself to golden nugget stories around a variety of characters through the ages who lived here. It is suitable for all ages, and Claire is super friendly and enthusiastic as we weaved are way through key parts of Exmouth. Highly recommended to make your stay in Exmouth a richer experience. Fabulous.
