Explore Devon & Dorset
Glebe is in the lovely Coly Valley two miles from Colyton,
which has one of the last remaining Tanneries in England, just behind the
Jurassic coast. A lovely Coastal Path goes through the old fishing and
smuggling towns of Beer and Branscombe and on to the Regency town of
Sidmouth, also famous for its Folk Festival week.
Inland is the lace town of Honiton with its antiques and
markets, leading up to the Blackdown Hills, designated an area of
outstanding natural beauty. From there you can go further north to Exmoor
and the North Somerset Coast, or to the Somerset Levels and the Quantocks
and Mendips.
Further West is the cathedral city of Exeter, the Historic
Port of Topsham and the Exe Estuary. Excellent sandy beaches can be found
at Exmouth and Dawlish Warren, and the Teign Valley will take you up onto
Dartmoor.
To the East it is easy to explore Hardy Country and the
Marshwood Vale in Dorset, with the fossils at Charmouth and Lyme Regis, and
the Abbotsbury Swannery and Chesil Beach.
