Are you a dog owner with time on your paws? Then take the short train or bus ride from Exeter to Topsham, the historic estuary town on the River Exe.
The pretty historic streets make for a perfect walk that’s stimulating for everyone on two legs and four while almost all the pubs and cafes - and there are lots of them - are enthusiastically dog-friendly. Owners can buy fresh fish and artisan cheeses or tuck in to a cream tea or fish and chips while furry friends enjoy their own retail therapy at two pet shops: anyone for a salmon and turmeric dog chew?

To work off those excesses take your canine for a swim in the Exe from the recreation ground or the historic Goat Walk - and at the latter there’s even a dedicated dog-friendly field for walking and running. If the tail is still wagging then try the gorgeous circular walk around Topsham that includes the scenic Bowling Green Marsh Nature Reserve and takes you back into town for a coffee or a pint.

So grab the lead, come on down - the dog days are here in Topsham!

Managed by the RSPB, Bowling Green Marsh nature reserve is an area of coastal grazing marsh alongside the River Exe Estuary, on the outskirts of Topsham.
The Exe Estuary is particularly important for birds in winter, when the mild climate and suitable feeding areas attract tens of thousands of wetland birds - some of them from the UK but many travelling from Northern and Eastern Europe.
A fascinating and quaint historic estuary port, Topsham has some fine architecture. There are Dutch traders’ houses and fine examples of buildings from Georgian and Edwardian times.
