Sidmouth is a Regency town sitting prettily on the South West Coastal Path.
It nestles between the hills, and can be spectacularly viewed from the Eastern side
For lazy Devon strolls, you can delight in the nearby moors...
...or woodlands
A breathtaking view that can reached by car and a short walk, or if rambling by the coastal path. You are looking at a rather remote part of the Salcombe Regis bay.

This view is taken in surrounding countryside from the Western side of Sidmouth

Enjoy the gentle stroll along the Byes. The Byes are the river paths alongside the River Sid that lead down to the mouth of the Sid, the town and the sea front.
