About us

The Lord Nelson stands proudly at the top of the high street, at the entrance to Topsham. It is ideally located with the bus routes into Exeter and Exmouth directly outside and Topsham Railway Station a short walking distance.

First licenced in 1822 this 200 year old pub still holds its authentic charm whilst being tastefully redecorated, it is a must when visiting Topsham, If you are looking to make a day of it why not try your own “Topsham Ten” also known as Devon’s poshest pub crawl, once a passage of rights for Exeter University students you’ll struggle today to find 10 pubs, you might have to visit us more than once! We are ok with that.
