- Axminster is a busy
country town with a long history between Honiton and Dorchester. Set originally
by the
intersection of two Roman roads, the Foss Way and Icknield Street -
although archaeological remains from the neighbourhood suggest an
even earlier foundation. Axminster is
famous for its carpets started by a local weaver, Thomas
Whitty. A
drive south along pleasant Devon country roads will bring you to
Axmouth and Seaton.
