Exeter is 12 miles away. The local East Devon Golf Club is listed in the top one hundred golf clubs in the country, . The entrance to the Lee Ford estate is in the village of Knowle.

Lee Ford extends to 45 acres of parkland, fields and a renowned garden and woodlands. There is direct access to the cycle and pedestrian path which links Lee Ford to Exmouth and on to a wider network.
