AXMINSTER, DEVON
Axminster is a small market town situated just five miles inland from the coastal resorts of Seaton and Lyme Regis and also benefits from
being in beautiful surroundings.
Axminster is on the eastern border of Devon, England. The town is built on a hill overlooking the River Axe which heads towards the English Channel at
Axmouth. The market is still held every Thursday.
Axminster's main industry is carpet making, for which the town is world renowned. A true Axminster carpet, made in the town, can be easily identified by the
red cotton sewn into the edge of the carpet on the underside.
At the centre of this Saxon town is the splendid church of St Mary the Virgin, the oldest building in Axminster.
