Beautiful sheep, a lamb ran out in front, near miss, naughty!❤️

It's a bridge over troubled waters

Beautiful river and a bench

This section of public footpath is inaccessible due to farmer blocking off path and having six aggressive dogs. Very scary. Do not go here.

Foodie and environmentalist Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall's town centre restaurant, the River Cottage Kitchen takes its name from his home, just a few miles away at River Cottage HQ. Currently open Wednesday to Saturday during the day, see website for more details. https://www.rivercottage.net/restaurants/axminster

This sprawling farm sits on the Channel to Channel footpath and occupies a rather pretty position on the edge of the Yarty Valley. Several footpaths intersect here and you can hike east up to Membury village or west, down to the river itself.

A wonderful packhorse bridge, Beckford Bridge spans the River Yarty in the Blackdown Hills AONB to the north west of Axminster. Made from local rubble stone, this Grade II-listed span is in remarkably good condition, thanks to a modern bridge taking traffic. You can walk over the old bridge although it's best admired from the new one.

Reputed to be the best chippy around (even better than some coastal options), the Lemon Plaice is a great fish and chip takeaway in the centre of Axminster. We enjoyed some very crispy battered fish and took it a short walk to the churchyard grass to enjoy in the late evening sunshine.
