Map of the UK

The small seaside parish of Budleigh Salterton sits on the pebble-strewn coast of East Devon in Devon, England. It occupies a stretch of the Jurassic Coast, with distinctive red sandstone cliffs, a long shingle beach and the mouth of the River Otter, which together make it popular for fossil hunting, birdwatching and dramatic coastal walks on the South West Coast Path.

Once a modest fishing and port community, the place now blends a local-serving economy of independent shops, cafés and holiday accommodation with a sizeable retired population and seasonal tourism. Attractive Georgian and Victorian architecture hints at its past, while an active community calendar - from small festivals and a regatta to conservation groups - keeps social and cultural life lively.
