Walking Through Seaton

Guest Blog Post – Seaton Town Council

As walking routes go, Seaton in East Devon has a lot to offer ramblers. With a stunning mix of coastal scenery, wildlife and country views the town itself is an idyllic stop off for mid walk lunches, drinks or simply for a break. As we get ready to embrace spring, now is the perfect time to dust off the walking boots and start planning a route.

A gateway to the Jurassic Coast, Seaton offers visitors some of nature’s most beautiful scenery. The town is blessed to have the Seaton wetlands nearby but also an array of independent cafes and shops offering walkers a place to refuel and relax.

Seaton Town Mayor Ken Beer said “nestled in a beautiful part of East Devon, it’s easy to see why Seaton comes out top in terms of walking destination or a stop off point. We have the picturesque Jurassic Coast on our doorstep, as well as impressive areas of nature at its finest at the Wetlands. Our town is proud to be home to a range of independent cafes and shops, providing walkers with all the necessities to make their day pleasant, entertaining and fun!”
