Exmouth is a town in Devon, England, at the east side of the mouth of the River Exe. It has been also been known for several centuries as a seaside resort. Its Georgian terraces and sandy beach attracted people including Horatio Nelson, whose wife, Lady Nelson lies buried in the nearby Littleham Churchyard, and Lord Byron. The seafront has a traditional promenade. The Exe estuary is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and is noted in particular for its wading and migrating birds. A large part of the estuary lies within a nature reserve. Exmouth marks the start of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site, which stretches along the coast to Poole, in Dorset.
