Newton Poppleford is a long village nestling in the Otter Valley . It is an attractive rural setting of mainly farmland, bounded by a ridge of heathland to the west and wooded hills to the east. Newton Poppleford has a vibrant local community with lots of facilities. It is also a good base for walking and there is an important RSPB nature reserve at the top of the hill to the west.

The village of Salcombe Regis is in one of the most beautiful combes on the coast. Unspoilt and secluded it comes alive in the spring at the annual Salcombe Regis Country Fair and is the home of the Donkey Sanctuary.

Each Tuesday and Saturday, Honiton has market stalls lining each side of the broad main street.

You can buy such diverse items as clothing, electrical goods, books and paintings, as well as antiques and bric-a-brac. With the addition of local garden centre products, the end result is a colourful vibrant display. The local museum has a wealth of artefacts from Honiton's colourful past, situated on the high street next to St. Paul's church it's certainly worth a visit.

Honiton is said to be the first place in the county in which wool was manufactured into cloth.

The serges produced from the looms in the town enjoyed a great reputation for their quality.

Sadly, with the advent of cotton, there was a decline in demand and eventually only one serge-maker survived. Honiton is said to be the first place in Devon in which wool was manufactured into cloth.
