Cockwood is a lovely little village made up of stone and whitewashed cottages circled around a natural tidal harbour, perfect for beachside holidays in Devon. It sits on the west side of the Exe Estuary and has a very quaint boating community such that the harbour is always filled with colourful bobbing boats. The village has shops; pubs and a warm welcoming crowd while the neighbouring villages of Warren and Starcross are also a great destination for a bit of pub grub and some sightseeing. A little further South, on the mouth of the estuary lies the stunning Dawlish Warren Nature Reserve and you are also lust a quick drive from the city of Exeter and Devon’s Riviera where beaches, resorts and tourist attractions come in all shapes and sizes.
