Blue Drift

29/07/2024

Greendale Farm Shop near Clyst St Mary is a fantastic place to visit, and many of our guests have said it was a highlight of their stay. Located just an 18-minute/ 7 mile drive from Blue Drift, Greendale offers a wide range of fresh, local produce, and has a great café serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Visitors can also view a variety of animals for free, from goats, alpacas, donkeys and chickens to deer, wallabies and ostriches.

There’s a milk and ice cream vending machine offering fresh local dairy products, a playground, plus also a slip & slide set up for the summer school holidays (additional fee). It’s a lovely spot to spend time with the family, enjoying the countryside and the friendly atmosphere of the farm: https://www.greendale.com/

If you're planning where to dine while on holiday at Blue Drift, be sure to book a table well in advance at the River Exe Café, as it is extremely popular.

This extraordinary floating restaurant, located in the middle of the Exe Estuary off the Exmouth coast, is open from April 1st to September 30th. The café offers a diverse menu featuring locally sourced food and drink, all set against a backdrop of stunning views.

You can reach the River Exe Café by taking the Puffin Water Taxi from Exmouth Marina which is a 10 minute drive from the Blue Drift holiday let.

Book early to avoid disappointment, or you might get lucky with a last-minute cancellation:

Two fantastic dog friendly walking spots, both within a few minutes drive from Blue Drift! 🐾🐶

🌿🌳 VS 🌊⛱️🏖️
Woodbury Common’s rolling green spaces and winding paths VS Exmouth with its flat golden sandy beach, ice cream stands and coffee shops!

https://www.airbnb.co.uk/rooms/838799323358804255

WOODBURY COMMON:
3 miles away/ 7 minutes drive away
Park for free at Wheathill Plantation Car Park, EX9 7AS

A 4.6 mile circular trail perched high above the land surrounding it. Woodbury Common is a perfect place to revel in the beauty of East Devon. On a clear day you can see as far as Dartmoor and the views down to the estuary are quite simply breathtaking.
The heather and gorse that make up most of the Common give it a distinctly Mediterranean feel. Walking through it on a sunny day it would be easy to imagine yourself strolling through some distant Spanish plain rather than nestled a few minutes away from Budleigh Salterton.

Generally considered a moderately challenging route, it takes an average of 2 hours to complete. This is a popular trail for bird watching, hiking, and mountain biking, but you can still enjoy some solitude during quieter times of day. The best times to visit this trail are March through June. Dogs are welcome and may be off-lead in some areas.

EXMOUTH BEACH:
4 miles away/ 8 minutes drive away

Dogs are allowed on all of Exmouth beach from October to April but from May to September they are only allowed in one area at the very far left hand side of the beach by Orcombe Point.

It's a great open space for socialising your dog with other dogs and letting them have a good run around off the lead on the beach. There are plenty of dog waste bins and facilities such as takeaway coffee shops, ice cream stands and public toilets. Pay as you go parking along the seafront.
​
Exmouth is a lively town, situated on the east coast of Devon where the River Exe meets the sea. The town offers a diverse selection of shops, places to eat and things to do.
