What’s the name all about?
The Salt Settlers is a nod to the early settlers in Budleigh Salterton. Salt panning in Budleigh Salterton is listed in the Doomsday book, but it is believed that the practice went on far longer here.
The area has changed lots over the years, especially recently with the Lower Otter Flood Restoration work. On high spring tides, parts of the course will be underwater. We have positioned our event between the high tides. Return late from your final loop and you might get salted!
