1. Exmouth Lifeboat Station
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 63 reviews
Free tours of Exmouth lifeboat station are available every weekend throughout the year and most weekdays during school summer holidays although this depends on the availability of volunteer tour guides. Tours last 30 to 40 minutes and give you the chance to see the two lifeboats at close quarters, learn about the RNLI and see the kit that volunteer crews use when they're saving lives at sea. If you have a group, then special tours can be organised on weekdays either during the day or in the evening. And if you ask one of the tour guides, they'll tell you when you can see the all weather lifeboat launched on one of the crew's regular training exercises. These usually happen every two weeks on Wednesday evenings. If you've enjoyed the television programmes, this is your chance to see the real thing.

This was an Impromptu tour of the lifeboat station on a family day trip to Exmouth and how interesting it was. The guide Lawrie was friendly, very knowledgable and kept all 3 generations of the family engaged, including the teenagers! We saw both on and off shore lifeboats and got a great understanding of what they do and how it all works ~ an impressive, fact filled tour. A lovely hour or so out, would recommend. Well done RNLI and full respect to all the volunteers who give their time.

Unusual round house with interesting history, lovely views of the River Ex. Taking tea and cake on a sunny afternoon transports you to another era! Put your phones away and enjoy the moment!

Highly recommended visiting Orcombe Point and the geoneedle for wonderful views over the bay and along as far as Dawlish Warren. Although there are far longer walks you can do we parked near by for free at Foxholes Hill and joined the costal path for about 10 minutes along to the needle and cliffs. Lots of interesting National Trust plinths on the way telling you about the local creatures and plants.
