The two are Old Shute House and The Old Bakery, Manor Mill & Forge.
Distances and facilities last checked October 2026
Two National Trust places sit inside the East Devon National Landscape boundary, from Old Shute House in the north to The Old Bakery, Manor Mill & Forge in the south. Two of them are within four miles of a mainline railway station, and one has a café.
Old Shute House: A 14th-century medieval manor house with Tudor additions in the East Devon countryside. The Old Bakery, Manor Mill & Forge: Historic village buildings in Branscombe, a valley settlement leading to the Jurassic Coast. The two are about 6 miles apart from first to last, so they fit into one day.
Old Shute House is 2.1 miles from Colyton Station (Seaton Tramway). Distances are in a straight line, so allow longer on foot or by taxi or bus.
Many places open fewer days or close for part of the winter, so check opening times before you travel.
