East Devon: Exmouth Market
Among the coastal places of East Devon, Exmouth stands out for its position where the River Exe meets the English Channel. Its central market area is a short walk from the waterfront and the town’s broad sandy beach. Exmouth developed as a seaside resort from the late 18th century, and its centre still brings together local commerce and the rhythms of a coastal town. At Orcombe Point on Exmouth’s eastern edge, the Jurassic Coast UNESCO World Heritage Site begins; its cliffs continue along the Devon and Dorset shore. Across the Exe estuary, Dawlish Warren forms a dune-backed nature reserve known for its birdlife.

Few places in England have a history as closely tied to the 185-million-year record of the Jurassic Coast as East Devon. Its shore, part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site, runs from the Exe estuary past red Triassic cliffs at Budleigh Salterton and Sidmouth towards the Dorset border. Inland, the River Otter reaches the English Channel at Budleigh Salterton, while market towns including Honiton recall the region’s long association with handmade lace. Sidmouth also hosts the annual Sidmouth Folk Festival, bringing traditional music and dance to the coast each summer. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of East Devon.

England’s lowland plains, upland ranges and extensive coastline define much of England - these contrasts have long shaped farming, maritime trade and the growth of its cities. The Midlands, where this location lies, sit at the country’s inland centre and were pivotal to Britain’s Industrial Revolution. The River Thames links London with the North Sea, while the Pennines form a major upland spine farther north. Roman roads, medieval cathedrals and industrial-era towns remain visible parts of the national fabric. Explore related webcams around England to build a fuller picture of this varied country.

The United Kingdom combines long-established institutions with sharply varied regional identities in a way that reflects its position within northwestern Europe. England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland share a state while retaining distinct traditions, languages and landscapes. The River Thames runs through London, where the Palace of Westminster and the Tower of London mark centuries of national life; Edinburgh’s Old and New Towns are UNESCO-listed. The Highlands, Eryri’s mountains and Atlantic-facing coasts contrast with the densely settled southeast. Football, theatre, pub culture and music remain everyday threads in a country with global cultural influence.
