The River Axe flows through Dorset, Somerset and Devon. 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. Rev Zachary James Edwards, the author, was Rector of Combpyne and at the time of writing, late Fellow of Wadham College. The beautifully illustrated text is seasoned with poetry and scriptural references.
