Topsham’s history takes centre stage with the unveiling of new heritage boards and a Maritime Trail—an exciting project that’s earned the support of the Earl of Devon.
The aim of the new heritage information boards and trail is to connect visitors and residents with the town’s extraordinary past.
Through the project led by Topsham Museum, the trail and boards tell a story from Roman occupation, through Atlantic fishing ventures and a thriving wool trade, and across centuries of maritime shipbuilding and commerce.
Visit this secret walled town garden. Herbaceous border, sunken garden and two large wisterias hopefully in their prime.
Open 2pm-5pm, entry £2.50, refreshments available. Wheelchair access is limited. Dogs are to be kept on leads.
Directions: At Countess Wear roundabout in Exeter, take sign to Topsham. Follow signs to Topsham and park in town car parks, either Holman Way or the Quay car park. From the Quay turn left down The Strand. The garden is 3rd left alongside the Museum and first right to garden gate. EX3 0AT.
