Situation

Lympstone grew from an ancient settlement on the eastern shores of the Exe estuary. The village built its reputation on maritime trade and agriculture and about 100 fishing vessels operated from the area towards the end of the 19th Century, when Lympstone was particularly celebrated for its whitebait and the quality of its oysters. The village has four public houses, a well established primary school, village store, lively sailing club and a train service operating between Exeter and Exmouth. The village website; www.lympstone.org gives information on local events and some of the various clubs and societies.
