Welcome to Axe

Axe is a small village located in the East Devon district of Devon, England. The village is situated on the River Axe, which flows through the village and into the English Channel. Axe is known for its beautiful countryside, with rolling hills and lush green fields surrounding the village. The village is also home to a number of historic buildings, including the 14th-century St. Mary's Church, which is a popular destination for visitors.

One of the main attractions in Axe is the Axe Estuary Wetlands, which is a nature reserve that is home to a wide variety of wildlife. The wetlands are a popular destination for birdwatchers, as they are home to a number of rare and endangered bird species. Visitors can also enjoy walking and cycling along the many trails that wind through the wetlands, taking in the stunning views of the surrounding countryside.

Another popular attraction in Axe is the Axe Valley Heritage Museum, which is located in the village's old police station. The museum tells the story of the Axe Valley, from its prehistoric past to the present day. Visitors can explore the museum's exhibits, which include artefacts from the local area, as well as interactive displays and multimedia presentations. The museum is a great place to learn about the history and culture of Axe and the surrounding area.

Local Dog Walks

Langdon Hill / Woods
A Great Circular Walk With Some Gentle Inclines And Stunning Views. Generally A Mud-Free(Ish) Walk. Also Gateway To The Highest Point On The South Coast - Golden Cap. A Definite 'Must Walk' As It Is Breathtaking Up There. Keep Dogs On Leads At The Top Of The Cliff As There Have Been A Few Canine Deaths Where The Dog Has Chased A Seagull Over The Edge. :(
Langdon Ln
Lancashire
7.82 miles

From Bridport Head Up The A35 Towards Lyme Regis. As Soon As You Leave Village Of Chideock You Start To Climb Hill (Dual Carriageway Section). Stay In Left Hand Lane When You Reach The Top, Turn Left Before The Layby. Left Again And Along Badly Maintained Lane. At The End (A Few Hundred Yards) Turn Right And That Leads Straight Into The Car Park. Watch The Speed Humps They Are Vicious!
