Best Otter Nurseries Circular Walk

Otter Nurseries is a family run garden centre with a cafe located near the Otter at Ottery St Mary. It was founded in 1964 by Malcolm and Marilyn White, who began growing vegetables and plants to sell in East Devon markets.

River Otter

It is difficult to imagine that the site previously was run by 'Burnt House Farm.'

This is a delightful short circular walk into rural Devon and along the river Otter despite the hazards mentioned below.
