Cockwood Harbour is a small tidal harbour in Cockwood, a village on the western bank of the Exe Estuary in Devon. It is a popular boating spot with a church, pubs and accommodation. Cockwood Harbour is known for the railway line that runs over the narrow strip of land between the harbour and the sea. The line continues to Dawlish, where it follows the coastline and offers stunning views of the water. Cockwood Harbour is part of the Exe Estuary Trail, a cycle and walking route that follows the River Exe and the canal from Exmouth to Dawlish.

Cockwood Harbour is famous for the railway line which runs on the narrow strip of land between the harbour and the sea. The line continues to Dawlish where it hugs the coastline and gives unrivalled views of the sea.

There are two local pubs, The Ship Inn and The Anchor Inn were you can sit and watch the trains and boats go by.
