Location

Located on part of the world famous ‘Jurassic Coast’, Sidmouth is a delightful, unspoilt, genteel resort town situated in and along the lovely Sid Valley in East Devon. It has retained much of its Regency and Victorian charm and character and is well served by a range of amenities including both private and state schools, hospital, theatre, cinema, golf course, supermarkets and a town centre with a wealth of interesting, individual shops. Sidmouth is also well placed for transport links, lying within 15 miles of Exeter and the M5 and within just 10 miles of Exeter airport, Honiton railway station and the A30 link road. Sid Road traverses the desirable east side of Sidmouth and eventually connects into the town centre. Sid Abbey South lies less than a mile from the town centre as well as being approximately 300 metres from access to the beautiful Byes walk.
