Topsham was once a thriving cotton port and shipbuilding centre on the east side of the River Exe, between Exeter and Exmouth. Although it only the size of a large village, it was granted town status by Royal Charter in 1300. No longer a major (or even minor) seaport, the town now describes itself as a “quaint historic town has a cosmopolitan atmosphere” and is of interest to visitors for its architecture, scenery and proximity to nature reserves for wading and migrating birds, such as RSPB Bowling Green Marsh on the Exe Estuary, the whole of which is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).
