Places to stay in Countess Wear, Devon

Historically an estate known as Weare, part of the manor of Topsham, was in this area. From the late 13th century, the construction of weirs in the River Exe by the Countess, and later, the Earls of Devon damaged the prosperity of Exeter to the benefit of Topsham which was downstream of the obstructions, and was owned by the Earls. Local dining options include Beefeater - Countess Wear, Countess Wear, Plantsmans Cafe, and Restaurant At Buckerell Lodge Hotel.
