Eden project
Here are some of many places to look for local attractions:
  • The picture is of the Eden Project which is a two-hour drive away into Cornwall, and a wonderful day out.
There are plenty of attractions nearer at hand:
  • Britain's Finest lists attractions all over Devon.

Here are some links to individual attractions:

Just a mile or so away is Otterton Mill, a working mill where you can see the grain being milled before buying the freshly baked bread or other local delights. The mill has an excellent licensed restaurant for lunch or afternoon tea, as well as a gallery and gift shop where the talent of some of our local artists is unveiled. They have live music, usually on a Thursday.
