Otterton is a small, picturesque village in East Devon, Devon, sitting on the banks of the River Otter about a mile inland from Budleigh Salterton and within easy reach of the Jurassic Coast. The village has a compact historic core with a medieval church, thatched cottages and a conservation-area feel that reflects its long rural past.
Locally the restored watermill at Otterton Mill is a focal point - now a shop, café and craft hub that underpins much small-scale tourism alongside farming and river-based wildlife interest, including otter and salmon sightings. The community is quiet and popular with walkers and birdwatchers, offering a tidy example of an East Devon village combining historic buildings, working countryside and access to coastal walking routes.
