Situation

Sidford is a charming East Devon village being situated on the river Sid, which runs for four miles into Lyme Bay at Sidmouth. There is a 12th Century packhorse bridge over the river and in the village centre there are several shops, a post office and the locally renamed village Inn called The Rising Sun. Sidmouth remains a highly regarded Regency town and is located in an area of outstanding natural beauty. Before 1800 Sidmouth was a small fishing village with cottages clustered around the seaside, the town's importance grew at a fast rate through the early to mid 1800s. Sidmouth now boasts a warmth and conviviality that is much envied by similar placed resorts and it offers a comprehensive range of local and individual shops, which are a far cry from the uniform and nationwide retail face of many other English towns and cities. There are fine buildings, lovely walks, stunning views and safe beaches to attract visitors and settlers alike with its "time warp" ambiance.
