River Otter at Budleigh Salterton, Devon This is the River Otter just east of Budleigh Salterton, taken from the pebble spit which nearly blocks the river mouth. The sea is just behind the camera location. There used to be a harbour here but the great storm of 1824 enlarged and extended the pebble spit so as to nearly block the river mouth completely and the harbour fell into disuse. The estuary today is a nature reserve - an extensive area of salt marsh and a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
