West of Lyme Regis, the SW660 offers a wonderful sequence of rolling high cliffs of various colours. They rise and fall between the river mouths at each of East Devon’s charming old seaside towns.
The red sandstone cliffs and sea stacks around Exmouth and Budleigh Salterton mark the end of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage site – but for savvy drivers, the route continues around the Exe Estuary to offer breath-taking landscapes.
Unlike the M5, don’t whizz past the Exe without appreciating this largely unsung tidal valley with world-class panoramic views. And if there’s time to take an urban break from the coastal roads, the thriving and historic cathedral city of Exeter makes a good stopover.
Welcome to the South West 660 – one of the world’s best road trips.
The 660-mile drive around the south west peninsula uses a careful selection of smaller roads that hug the coasts of Dorset, Devon, Cornwall and Somerset.
That’s why the route offers great views of sandy beaches, pretty fishing villages, rugged headlands…and the sea.
Do it all in one memorable experience – or split the adventure by choosing one of our 12 shorter and easier sections.
