Exmouth

Resort town and former port in Devon, southwest England, at the mouth of the River Exe, 14 km/9 mi southeast of Exeter; population (2001) 33,000. Small industries include engineering and a pottery specializing in novelty teapots. The port was permanently closed to commercial vessels in 1989, but the town remains a yachting and boating centre.

Other tourist facilities include pleasure boat cruises up the Exe to Topsham, just below Exeter, and local angling for salmon and trout. The Exe estuary nature reserve is notable for its bird life.

Manchester Quay, the former docking point for vessels, has now largely been filled in, and the area has been developed.
