Higher Coombe Farm is a family run working farm with mainly sheep and beef on about 160 acres.

It is situated just outside the village of Tipton St John in the Otter Valley only 4 miles from Sidmouth sea front and the surrounding National Trust and Devon Heritage Coast.

East Devon is for many an unknown part of Devon, bypassed on the way further south-west. But it has beautiful unspoilt rolling countryside and miles of sandy and pebble beaches.

Higher Coombe Farm is the ideal base for exploring East Devon's small towns and picturesque villages, not forgetting the historic cathedral city of Exeter and also Dartmoor and Exmoor.

There are many places of interest and events to visit and opportunities for various outdoor and indoor leisure activities.

Things to see and do in Devon

National Marine Aquarium
National Marine Aquarium

Visit the UK's largest Aquarium and be amazed at our fascinating underwater world. The National Marine Aquarium is a marine aquarium located in the city of Plymouth, England. It is the largest aquarium in the United Kingdom and the deepest in Europe. It is located in Coxside, next to the Barbican harbour and fishmarket. The modern building houses gigantic aquariums, a lecture hall, a cafe and a shop. The largest tank is ten metres deep and can be viewed from several different angles.
Buckland Abbey
Buckland Abbey

In the 13th century, Buckland Abbey was home to the Cistercian monks who built the Abbey and the incredible Great Barn and farmed the then vast estate. The Abbey, now a house with a combination of furnished rooms and interactive museum galleries, tells the story of how two seafaring adventurers – Sir Richard Grenville and Sir Francis Drake – changed the shape of the house and the fate of the country. Discover the Buckland estate, the meadows, the orchards and the late spring bluebells. Enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the Tavy Valley and the far-reaching views.
Kents Cavern
Kents Cavern

Kents Cavern is a prehistoric cave and award winning visitor attraction. The site was used by Britain’s earliest ancient humans thousands of years ago and today the cave is the only underground visitor centre in the UNESCO Global Geopark, a protected national monument and an internationally renowned prehistoric show cave.
Exmoor Zoo
Exmoor Zoo

Exmoor Zoo is unique and an unusual zoo to visit! Opened in 1982 the zoo is now an ideal family venue, especially for the younger generation. Changes keep taking place, even a visit last year, will today see new exhibits and animals! The zoo has always specialised in smaller animals in the past, providing “natural” living spaces for many creatures no longer seen in the city zoos. The careful planting of shrubs and trees as they have matured, will keep you wondering what is next, providing a very relaxing and natural atmosphere! Today new exhibits exist for larger animals such as cheetah, blackbuck, maned wolves, sitatunga and of course the "Exmoor beast" !"
Watermouth Castle
Watermouth Castle

Watermouth Castle offers a rare combination of opportunities - for not only do visitors have the chance to live in a castle, but they also enjoy unlimited, free entry to one of the West Country's premier tourist attractions during their stay. Within the splendid castle itself, there are six superb apartments, an indoor heated swimming-pool, a museum, a choice of theme attractions, and some fascinating water displays. Outside, the castle's 50-acre estate features wonderful landscaped gardens, with plenty of space for strolling and relaxing, and glorious woodland walks. There are ducks and waterfowl to admire on the lake outside the walls, and beautiful views from the castle over Watermouth Bay and its harbour, where there are slipway facilities for visitors' boats, as well as moorings for larger craft.
Woodlands Family Theme Park
Woodlands Family Theme Park

Woodlands Family Theme Park Devon provides a whole day of variety for all ages. One inclusive admission price to the family attraction includes incredible indoor centres, outdoor adventures, Zoo, Big Fun Farm and Falconry Centre.
Exeter Cathedral
Exeter Cathedral

Founded in 1050, it was established to provide support for the Bishop of Exeter in his ministry and mission across Devon, and to be a community of prayer, and christian worship. It is the symbolic focus of the Bishop's centeredness in the life of the Diocese, and the home of his ‘cathedra' (his seat or throne). All involved in its life seek to reflect the love of God revealed in the eternal community of the Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The Cathedral building, dedicated to Peter, one of Jesus' earliest followers and the model for all subsequent bishops, is the finest example of Decorated Gothic architecture in any Cathedral. The building itself proclaims something of the beauty and holiness of God. To see it on a day when the sun streams through its windows is breathtaking.
Powderham Castle
Powderham Castle

A visit to Powderham Castle is an enchanting day out for all its visitors. Fascinating guided tours of this magnificent 600year old Castle – one of the oldest family houses in England and home to the 18th Earl of Devon - reveals secret doors, stunning castle rooms, amazing architecture and intriguing stories that really bring the history to life. Not forgetting the recently restored Victorian Kitchen where you can visualise what life would have been like in domestic service.
Dartmouth Castle
Dartmouth Castle

One of the most picturesquely- sited fortresses in England. For over six hundred years Dartmouth Castle has guarded the narrow entrance to the Dart Estuary and the busy, vibrant port of Dartmouth. This fascinating complex of defences was begun in 1388 by John Hawley, privateering mayor of Dartmouth and the prototype of the flamboyant 'Shipman' in Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. About a century later the townsmen added the imposing and well- preserved 'gun tower', probably the very first fortification in Britain purpose-built to mount 'ship-sinking' heavy cannon. Climb to the top for breathtaking views across the estuary and see how it could be blocked in wartime by a heavy chain. Unusually incorporating the fine church of St Petrox, the castle saw action during the Civil War, and continued in service right up until World War II. Successive up-dating included the Victorian 'Old Battery' with its remounted heavy guns, guardrooms and maze of passages to explore. Here a dramatic film-sequence recreates a Victorian gun-firing, and throughout the fortress displays retell the six centuries of castle history.
