6의 도끼 하구가지 명소 & 주요 장소

Peaceful spot for a break on the corner just before Axmouth village, benches and a picnic table looking out over the estuary.

The Axe estuary flows inland as far as the River Coly near Colyford. This section from Seaton to Axmouth is tidal and an important mud flat habitat for birds, shellfish and insects.

Lots of wading birds on the estuary if the tide is out

Worth pausing to take in the vista

Axmouth is a small tidal harbour, just east of Seaton whose activities include inshore commercial fishery, with associated fish quay, small boatyard, marine services, diving and angling.

A great place to park and enjoy the view across the estuary to Seaton Wetlands. You can park alongside the estuary and have a drink at The Harbour Inn

If the tides out walk up the estuary and spot the trams and birds, picking up any litter as you go

If cycling to Colyton from Ottery or on the Honiton towards Sidmouth road recommend take the lane to Southleigh. It drops down steeply into Southleigh so be aware if the road is wet, the lane then proceeds gently down to come out onto the main road east of Colyton. Great cycle route.
