The area around Woodbury and Lympstone sits on the eastern fringe of the Exe Estuary in East Devon, Devon, England, combining a tidal, bird-rich shoreline with rolling countryside. Lympstone is a compact, attractive estuary village with a small quay, popular sailing and boatyards, a station used by the nearby Royal Marines training centre and a name-checked country house hotel and restaurant that draws visitors.
Inland, Woodbury adjoins Woodbury Common, a large heathland with the Iron Age earthwork known as Woodbury Castle, offering good walking and wide views; the local economy mixes agriculture, tourism and commuter households travelling to Exeter or Exmouth. The patchwork of villages and protected estuary habitats gives the area a strong community feel, active village clubs and a steady stream of day visitors for sailing, birdwatching and country walks.
