Seaton Wetlands is a chain of lagoons, reedbeds and saltmarsh beside the River Axe — prime for birdlife, migratory waders, reflective water patterns and intimate landscape studies. Best at dawn/dusk for low-angle light and bird activity; low tide exposes mudflats. Accessible trails and boardwalks from the visitor car park (Colyford Rd); free entry. Weekday mornings are quieter. Expect changeable coastal weather and bring waterproofs.
