Lympstone is a small waterside village on the east bank of the Exe Estuary in East Devon, Devon, England. It centres on a pebble quay, slipway and a tight-knit street of Georgian and Victorian houses facing saltmarsh and mudflats that attract birdwatchers; the estuary is protected as an important SSSI/SPA and gives the village its strong maritime character.
The community supports small shops, pubs, a boatyard and the riverside Lympstone Manor, and many residents commute to Exeter or Exmouth via the local rail stop. The village is also notable for the nearby Royal Marines commando training base at RM Lympstone and for seasonal events such as regattas and village fêtes that celebrate its seafaring heritage.
