In the 18th century 'Otterton Park' covered 7000 acres, extending from 'Otterton Priory' to 'Peak Cliff' and to the sea, two miles south of the mansion. According to Swete, writing in the 18th century, the park had every convenience including 'dove house, warren, park for 150 head of deer, carp ponds and ponds for sea fish'. The proximity to 'Bicton' caused feuds in former times.
