50°40′44″N 3°14′20″W / 50.679°N 3.239°W / 50.679; -3.239 East Devon is a local government district in Devon, England. Its council is based in the town of Honiton, although Exmouth is the largest town. The district also contains the towns of Axminster, Budleigh Salterton, Cranbrook, Ottery St Mary, Seaton and Sidmouth, along with numerous villages and surrounding rural areas. The district borders Teignbridge and Exeter to the west, Mid Devon to the north, Somerset to the north-east, and Dorset to the east. Two areas of the district are designated as National Landscapes (formerly Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty): the Blackdown Hills in the north of the district and the East Devon National Landscape along much of the district’s coast and adjoining countryside. The East Devon coastline from Exmouth to the border with Dorset is also part of the designated World Heritage Site of the Jurassic Coast; the designated area continues into Dorset as far as the Old Harry Rocks near Swanage. East Devon is located in south-east Devon, extending from the eastern outskirts of Exeter to the county boundary with Dorset. It forms part of the South West England peninsula and encompasses a varied landscape of coastal cliffs, estuaries, river valleys, rolling farmland and heathland. The district includes sections of two designated National Landscapes: the Blackdown Hills National Landscape in the north, and the East Devon National Landscape along much of the coastline and adjoining countryside. The coastal fringe between Exmouth and the Dorset border is also part of the Jurassic Coast UNESCO World Heritage Site.
