Dart's Farm, Topsham

On the road into Topsham from the final exit of the M5 you will have to pass Dart's Farm. It is more than a farm produce shop and has a public path that you can walk round to investigate their produce growing. It has expansive views from the hill top where you can see a panorama of Topsham over the tops of whatever is growing, in this case big, green leaved vegetables. On the horizon 29 miles distant, you can see Dartrmoor.

Topsham - The Lighter Inn

This inn takes its name from the lighter, a flat bottomed boat used at Topsham to unload larger ships that had to anchor in the middle of the Channel. Until 1958, the quay by the Lighter was still served by a railway siding, and the area not so developed for tourism.

Topsham's Dutch style

Topsham has many houses built in the Dutch style, but this family house, called Wixels, is a Grade II listed home. The house dates from the 18th and 19th centuries and was formerly a sail loft or similar building converted into a dwelling house in 1920. The architecture is of particular note with Dutch gabling, wrought-ironwork and attractive stonework on the walls of the old quay. It has outstanding views down the River Exe and toward the Haldon Hills.
