SITUATION Selva is located in a lovely position on the outskirts of the picturesque village of Axmouth. Axmouth lies one mile from the mouth of the River Axe in the beautiful, unspoilt Axe Valley located in the south eastern corner of Devon, close to the Dorset border. Axmouth has two public houses and the town of Seaton, with its mile long beach, is just 1.5 miles distant and is well equipped with a range of local shops, services and recreational facilities. Within easy reach is the small town of Colyton, 2 miles to the north, with its well regarded Grammar School. There are numerous other towns in the area, most notably Lyme Regis, 7 miles to the east, Axminster, 7 miles to the north and Honiton, 10 miles to the north west.
 
 
 
Honiton and Axminster both benefit from mainline railway stations on the London Waterloo line. At Honiton, the A30 dual carriageway provides rapid access to the university and cathedral city of Exeter, which further benefits from mainline railway stations and International Airport.
