Axminster è una piccola città della contea del Devon (Gran Bretagna) la cittadina sorge sulla riva sinistra del fiume ed ha una popolazione di circa 6000 abitanti. La città è conosciuta per i ben conservati resti di un monastero del XII secolo mentre divenne celeberrima nel XVIII secolo per l'apertura di una industria, fondata nel 1755, che produceva tappeti tessuti a mano, imitanti quelli di Smirne. Oggi la città è sede di industrie siderurgiche. Qua nacque il geologo William Buckland. Non lo si deve confondere con Exminster, altra piccola città nella stessa contea.
