Getting here
On the west side of the Exe, on the outskirts of Exminster, Exminster Marshes nature reserve is at grid ref: SX954872.
At the southern end of Exminster village take the Station Road exit from the Swans Nest roundabout off the A379.
Go past the Swans Nest Inn and over the railway bridge.
The lane to the RSPB car park is then immediately to the right (signposted). Powderham Marsh nature reserve (SX953871) is accessed from the car park at the rear of the Swans Nest Inn, by kind permission.
There is a regular bus service (Number 2 Exeter - Dawlish Warren - Dawlish - Teignmouth - Newton Abbot).
The Swan's Nest stop is close to the Swans Nest roundabout at the southern end of Exminster.
From the Swans Nest roundabout, it's a five-minute walk down Station Road past Swans Nest Inn to the RSPB car park.
Exeter Central and Exeter St Davids stations are just over five miles (7 km) away.
Complete the journey from Exeter bus station; take the Number 2 Exeter to Teignmouth bus (see bus information).
Adjacent to the National Cycle Network Route 2.
The summer foot ferry links Topsham (and our Bowling Green Marsh hide and The RSPB Shop at Darts Farm) with these reserves.
