It is set in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, is part of the World Heritage Jurassic Coast, and is on the South West Coastal Path, making this an exceptional place. The Otter Estuary is a large nature reserve, home to abundant wildlife, and significant for kingfishers, sand martins, otters and the recently re-introduced beavers. If you are a bird watcher, many easily accessible hides along the riverbank offer abundant opportunities to study the wide variety of seasonal species.
