Local wild places
The Exe Estuary is a vitally important site for wintering birds, and is recognised as a Special Protection Area (SPA) and a wetland of international importance (Ramsar site). So we are fortunate that there are many excellent places to see wildlife around the Exe Estuary. We have chosen a few of the best sites near Exeter. Please click on the map, or on the list of sites below, for further details about each place.
This is only a small selection – take a look at our recent trip reports for other ideas for places to visit.
