LOCATION:

Situated two miles from Exmouth, on the shores of the River Exe, the beautiful little village of Lympstone commands panoramic views over the Exe estuary.

It has a small harbour, overlooked by historic Peter's Tower. Being one of the larger East Devon villages, it has a primary school,  the independent St Peter's Preparatory school, a small supermarket, a cafe, an art gallery, a village hall, four traditional pubs and a range of recreational facilities.

The Exe Estuary Trail cycle path runs through the village, from Exmouth to Dawlish via Exeter. The village train station is on the Avocet line, giving easy access to Exmouth and Exeter. Lympstone Manor provides a fine dining experience from celebrity chef Michael Caines' Michelin-starred restaurant. 

The most famous annual village event is the Lympstone' Furry Dance', believed to date back over 150 years. It's far more than just a dance; it offers a whole day of local celebrations, with a long procession through the village, various field events and some splendid fancy dress!

The nearby historic Cathedral City of Exeter offers a host of retail stores where you can find your high street favourites and superb leisure facilities and cultural events. Award-winning independent farm shops are located nearby, with Darts Farm and Greendale Farm. 

There are excellent transport links with the M5 (junctions 30 & 31) only a few miles from Lympstone, which provide access north towards Taunton (approx. 40 minutes), Weston-Super-Mare (approx. 70 minutes), Bristol (approx. one hour 30 minutes), Cheltenham (approx. two hours) and Birmingham (approx. three hours). The M5 also connects with the M4 for journeys to London (four hours) or into Wales. London can also be accessed via the A303/M3 (approx. three hours 40 minutes). South West Devon can be reached via the A38. Less than an hour's drive brings you to the historic city of Plymouth and the cross-channel ferry to Brittany.
Exeter St. David's and Exeter Central train stations serve direct lines to London Paddington or Waterloo, with journey times from two and a quarter hours. Regular bus services are provided by Stagecoach, which serves Exeter and the surrounding towns and villages. Exeter Airport is approx. 20 minutes by road (7 miles), or for more choice, including some direct international flights, Bristol Airport is approximately an hour and a half away (70 miles).
