The small historic town of Colyton is situated about a mile away and is highly regarded for its beautiful period architecture, local amenities and a doctors surgery. Colyford offers an appealing range of convenience shops. Both Colyford and Colyton are perhaps best known for the much acclaimed Colyton Grammar School, one of England's top state schools, which is within walking distance of Devoncroft.

England's first World Heritage Site, the Jurassic Coast, lies just 2 miles to the South via the seaside town of Seaton and the Regency town of Sidmouth is just 10 miles away.
