Axminster, nestled in beautiful tranquil countryside, is unquestionably a place to relax and unwind. It is one of Devon's most beautiful little villages, famous for its carpets, which are sometimes compared to Turkish examples. Axminster, located on the River Axe and easily accessible from both the West Dorset and East Devon Jurassic Coasts, offers many attractions, including many of privately owned businesses, a weekly market, and good old inns, one of which dates back 100 years and has its own resident ghost! With stunning views and the National Trust estates of Shute Barton and Loughwood Meeting House nearby, Axminster is a must-see.
