North of the Estuary/Marshes the A3052 East of the town of Colyford just pass the turning of the A358, is a left turning into Bruckland Lane (NARROW ROAD), eventually leading to car park on the left for Lower Bruckland Farm Ponds (open summer only May-October), from here head back to A3052 turning right, then turn left onto B3172 heading South towards Axmouth. On passing through Axmouth stop near a sharp left bend (locally called Coronation Corner), for good views up and down the Estuary. After here continue heading South where the road runs directly beside the estuary with frequent NARROW pull ins on estuary side. Just before bridge over the estuary there is a car park on the left (BEWARE of double yellow lines on road from here). Continue over bridge on B3172, eventually turning right at roundabout, that takes you to Harbour Road Car Park (fee payable WARNING car park is LOCKED at NIGHT but exit is 24 HOURS). Continue on foot from here by turning right out of car park following footpaths to the lower Seaton marshes.

JaExtra information
All seaside places in Devon can get VERY BUSY during the summer season. The frequent pull ins on the East bank of the Axe Estuary suffer with 'glare', avoid this by making morning visits. The sea off Seaton can be good for Divers/Grebes/Seaducks and other Seabirds, especially just to the West of the town in the Lee of the headland. *Additionally as of December 2020 East Devon District Council has given planning permission for Seaton Tramway to build a station at a passing loop adjacent to Seaton Wetlands, thus giving birders an additional way of travelling to this important site (work to begin in January 2021)*. **LATEST NEWS, as of August 1st 2022, following delays due to Covid-19 and nesting birds I can announce the Seaton Tramway 'Swans Nest' southern passing loop halt is now open**.
