If all the monkey business has taken it's toll, and energy is starting to wane, it may be an idea to
head back to Exmouth to take in the town itself. The chocolate box perfection of the local
architecture, and the quaint array of shops and pubs will definitely come as a relief to older holiday
makers. This is as far from a bustling monkey park as you can get.
Small, traditional cafés offer the ubiquitous Devon Cream Teas, while the unassuming local gift
shops will provide all of your souvenir needs, be it a box of fudge or a tea-towel. Being by the sea,
it is also an ideal location for those who enjoy a spot of fishing, and boats can be chartered locally
for this very purpose.
Another popular pass time in these parts is the simple, but timeless country walk. The terrain and
ever-changing scenery mean that there is a walk for all ages and abilities. Be it a relaxed beach
ramble, or a more ambitious hike into the nearby hills, the promise of fresh air and stunning scenery
is a combination that many find hard to resist.
Local maps and walking routes are available at many local tourist points and gift shops, and will
inform the walker of the difficulty and length of each ramble, meaning that you are unlikely to find
yourself stranded on a hillside at midnight, if you are, you should have really spent the small fee for
a route map.
