The River Axe
The
River Axe is a river in Dorset, Somerset and Devon, in the
south-west of England. It rises near Beaminster in Dorset, flows
west then south by Axminster and joins the English Channel at
Axmouth near Seaton in Lyme Bay.
During its 22-mile (35 km) course it is fed by various streams
and by the tributary rivers Yarty and Coly. It is a shallow,
non-navigable river, although its mouth at Axmouth has some
boating activity.
Fish include brown trout, dace, roach and occasional salmon.
