Budleigh Salterton

Budleigh Salterton is a lovely resort with a pebble beach in East Devon and is in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
It was originally called Ottermouth as it is at the mouth of the River Otter. It once had an industry of salt-panning hence the second part of its name. The nearby cliffs are part of what is known as the Jurassic coast because of the number of fossils found there.
