Budleigh Salterton is a Gateway Town to the Jurassic Coast.

This tranquil and historic seaside town nestles on the edge of a pebble beach beneath spectacular red cliffs, made famous by literary giants such as Noel Coward, P.G. Woodhouse and Anthony Trollope.

Situated at the mouth of the River Otter, Budleigh Salterton's sheltered location has made it popular since Roman times. Its famous bun-like pebbles, or cobbles, were swept ashore by ancient rivers.  A walk up the sandstone cliffs gives outstanding views of Budleigh and across Lyme Bay and will lead you to Sandy Bay and Exmouth. 

The High Street, with its small stream and quaint town houses, has many excellent quality shops, restaurants and cafes, all known for their friendliness.  Nearby attractions include Fairlynch, a thatched museum displaying the local history, Bicton Park Botanical Gardens, and the River Otter, which is a haven for birdwatchers.

Budleigh Salterton also boasts the largest croquet lawn outside London, while other sports on offer nearby include golf, sea and beach fishing, bowls, cricket and horse riding. A variety of quality, mostly family-run, accommodation and eateries adds to the town's charms.

Budleigh Salterton is a peaceful and unspoiled town that is an ideal place to get away and relax.
