Dig out your wellies for a fact-finding mud walk along the Exe Estuary led by East Devon District Council’s Countryside Rangers on Saturday June 20.
You’ll discover all about the creatures that make their homes in and on the mud and, what’s more, the event is free and open to all.

She added: “Wear wellies or old shoes that you don’t mind getting wet, and suitable outdoor clothing.”
