Take a relaxing stroll along pretty St Marychurch Precinct, free from traffic so you can enjoy your amble from shop to shop without worrying about cars and lorries zooming by. This is the place to go if you prefer shops to be small and independent, offering the personal level of service that purpose-built malls just can’t match. In the precinct and rambling side streets there’s a wide choice of shops selling everything from antiques to hand-made sweets. When you explore you’re sure to find something just that little bit different for yourself or to give to someone special. Luckily the major banks and post office are here too, and it’s close to major visitor attractions Bygones and Babbacombe Model Village. There’s plenty of parking available and after a busy day exploring the shops you can take the weight off your feet with a sumptuous cream tea or bite to eat at one of the nostalgic tea-rooms or cafés.
