The seaside town of Seaton is located where the River Axe in East Devon meets the English Channel. Seaton lies in Lyme Bay between the white chalk Haven Cliff and the limestone cliffs of Beer. A delightful mile long pebble beach runs in front of the Esplanade with another, more secluded beach going past Axmouth Harbour and the undercliffs towards Lyme Regis. The outstanding Jurassic Coast has UNESCO World Heritage status.

The architecture in the town is mainly Victorian and Edwardian, although there are some buildings dating back to the 15th Century. There are an abundance of public gardens and open spaces around the town which offer spectacular views along with popular attractions such as the Jurassic Coast Centre, Seaton Wetlands and Seaton Tramway. The pedestrian town centre offers safe, traffic free shopping with a range of shops, supermarkets and independent retailers. This area is designated an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

The market town of Axminster, with its main line rail link to London Waterloo, is 5 miles inland and the Cathedral City of Exeter is about 25 miles further west. The M5 motorway is easily accessible at Exeter and Taunton.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
