The home of Axminster carpets...probably not anymore?
Have driven through it many times, it's a nice little town...Had fish & chips there once, but can't tell you anymore than that.
Yes, nice pretty little town.
If you want your dreams to come true ...... first you have to wake up
Hiya, I get Google alerts for the word 'Axminster' because I have property there I rent out and I lived there for many years. I joined this forum to answer your thread, I am 35 and have lived all over the place and travelled quite a lot too, I moved to Axminster when I was 8 years old and I have to say it's a fantastic little town, 5 mins from Chard in Somerset, 5 mins from Lyme Regis, in Dorset, and being in Devon, you have the best of 3 worlds. Seaside towns 5-10 minutes away, just 1.5 to 2 hours drive from London (Where I work/Live aswell) 1 hour from Bristol, lying pretty close to the M5 Motorway, on the A35, the A30, near the A303, it's perfectly situated in my opinion. Wherever I've been on holiday, wherever I've stayed or visited, I've always been really happy to return to Axminster.
Beautiful rivers, 'River Cottage (Hugh Fernley Whitingstall's farm and Canteen)' of course the carpets, still the largest employer in the town, a cool little train station which now had trains to London leaving every hour, woodland walks, friendly people, several nice pubs, an Italian restaurant, 2 chinese takeaways and an award winning Indian restaurant (Cinnamons), a Tesco's, a Co-op, a Thursday market, a bus service to local villages, towns and the seaside, a very good school and close to the top listed Grammar School, a small but smart hospital, doctors clinic and sports centre, what are you looking for? :-)
You are 70 miles from Axminster nearer than I guess 99.9% of members here and its in the same county, I'd risk itOriginally Posted by Marie 75
Hi, Marie ... 'fraid I can't tell you anything about Axminster - except that it is [or was] noted for its carpet manufacturing industry - since I've never been there;but I CAN bid you a warm
to our friendly online filipino/uk community.
Used to be some nice public conveniences there as I recall
Used to be some nice public conveniences there as I recall... Perth's male gender - not to mention visitors to the "unFair City" - face the inconvenience of having to "tie-a knot in it"
, due to ongoing refurbishment at the only centrally-located public toilets.
... probably with liberal sprinklings of Harpic ... clean(s) "round the bend"! ...... ongoing refurbishment at the only centrally-located public toilets ...
On a brighter note... once work is completed, the revamped facilities are apparently to be declared officially "open" by no lesser a personage than Sir Lou Freshner - a distinguished Scottish
pee(e)r!
