Exeter St Davids - Exmouth

Fares Train times

The Avocet Line between Exeter and Exmouth hugs the Exe Estuary for much of its route and offers some excellent views, particularly for those who enjoy bird watching.

There are plenty of places to visit along the route of the line. Estuary-side settlements such as Topsham and Exmouth are very easy to get to by train. Topsham is a delight for those who enjoy a bit of retail therapy, and Exmouth has plenty to offer those who like traditional seaside towns and water sports.

Or explore on foot, bike, train and ferry with the Exe Estuary Trail.

The line has a very active Rail Users Group, representing the interests of users of the line and working towards improvements to services and facilities.

Dogs are welcome on the train.
