Otterton


Otterton is a delightful village not far from Sidmouth. It has lots of cob and thatch cottages and a delghtful mill (about which I shall blog later).





The village is located on the east bank of the River Otter about a mile inland of Ladram Bay, on the Jurassic Coast. It was first settled by the Saxons and because of its favourable location and rich resources was by 1000 AD the centre of one of the major rural communities in Devon.
