Join the Adventure stayed in a quaint little town called Topsham over five nights as a base to explore the greater area.
Located on the east side of the River Exe in Devon, England, Topsham is a historic port town. It lies north of the River Clyst and its estuary, situated between Exeter and Exmouth. Edward I granted a royal charter in 1300, designating Topsham as a town. However, it became part of the City of Exeter in 1966.
Topsham railway station, which is situated midway on the Avocet Line, a branch line from Exeter Central to Exmouth, serves the town. In 2011, the railway celebrated its 150th anniversary of arrival in Topsham.
The Topsham township is charming and exudes a sense of history and tradition. Its quaint streets, lined with well-preserved Georgian buildings, make it a picturesque destination for visitors. The town’s location on the River Exe and its proximity to the estuary adds to its charm, and visitors can enjoy scenic views of the water and the surrounding countryside.
