About
The Creedy & West Exe catchment is west of the main River Exe. This catchment is mainly agricultural and rural in nature. Crediton and western Exeter are the main areas of urbanisation. The Creedy merges with the River Yeo just below Crediton, and ends where it meets the River Exe at Cowley Bridge. The catchment contains a number of tidally influenced streams, which empty into the Exe Estuary, and the popular coastal resort of Dawlish and Dawlish Warren is found at the lower end of the catchment.
