The view from one of the bedrooms at the National Trust property A la Ronde, near Exmouth. The view is of the River Exe estuary with Starcross in the distance. A la Ronde is a quirky eighteenth century 16-sided house, built by two cousins, Jane and Mary Parminter and is packed to the rafters with mementos from their European grand tours.

The cupola and brickwork are simply decorative; another picture is at SY0081 : Warrens Bakery, 55 Parade, Exmouth and the business has changed since then (Google Streetview shows the change happened between 2019 and 2022)

The East Devon Way along the northern edge of Exmouth

A 40 mile route that starts at Exmouth and follows the estuary of the River Exe to Lympstone and then turns east over the commons and rolling hills of the East Devon AONB via Harpford, Sidbury, Farway and Colyton to Lyme Regis. It covers a wide variety of landscapes; estuary, high open commons, woodlands and quiet river valleys. Walking is generally not difficult but the route does include some quite sharp climbs.

A La Ronde

This sixteen-sided cottage was built in the late eighteenth century for Jane and Mary Parminter, on their return from a Grand Tour of Europe. According to tradition, the design was inspired by their visit to the octagonal basilica of San Vitale at Ravenna.

Little has changed since a previous photograph SY0081 : Shops on Exeter Road taken nine years earlier. The terrace of shops built in 1889 may at one point in time have had small front gardens. The shop frontage appears to be a later addition.
