Location Description
The White Hart occupies an extremely prominent and visible, landmark tradition position, adjacent to the A35 main road, in the heart of the village of Wilmington in the East Devon countryside. Wilmington is located midway between the thriving market towns of Honiton and Axminster (each approximately 5 miles). The A35 is a busy tourist route between Devon and Dorset and the nearby coastline, known as the Jurassic Coast, which has been designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and has been awarded World Heritage Status by UNSECO. The popular and attractive coastal towns and villages of Sidmouth, Beer, Branscombe, Lyme Regis and Charmouth are all within 10 miles. The Cathedral City of Exeter is some 22 miles to the west with an excellent shopping centre, sport and leisure facilities, international airport and access to the M5 motorway.
