and walks. Te Millennium Walkway passes beneath vivid red Triassic sandstone cliffs, and from here the South West Coast Path leads to Ladram Bay, with its stunning red rock chimneys, and the Tree Rocks holiday complex, and Pebbles restaurant in one direction, or picturesque Branscombe with its lovely beach, shops, cafes etc. and the Fountain Inn in the other.
Te town has plenty of entertainment, ranging from: band concerts in Connaught Gardens, to Sidmouth Regatta, and the Charles Vance Play Festival, while in autumn it is the turn of the Sidmouth Carnival. However, the town’s main event is the famous Sidmouth Folk Week in August, a scintillating blend of multi- national music and dance that draws thousands of visitors each year. Whilst there are a plethora of places to eat and stay, try the Dukes on the sea front.
Just a short distance from the town you will find a variety of places to explore. To one side lies the dramatic heath-land of Mutters Moor, the haunt of the elusive nightjar, while on Salcombe Hill, the domes of the Norman Lockyer Observatory are an unexpected sight, here there is a unique opportunity to see the night sky through powerful telescopes.
A little further away near Salcombe Regis, THE DONKEY SANCTUARY is a much loved family attraction.
SIDMOUTH DONKEY SANCTUARY is open 365 days a year, with free admission and parking. We have excellent facilities such as a restaurant,
gift shop and family maze, not to mention seeing around 500 of our 3,000 donkeys and mules in our care. Can you find the gentle giant Poitou donkeys, or our gorgeous adoption donkeys? Come and cuddle our main yard donkeys or spot a miniature in one of the fields!
Te Axe Valley is a dedicated area of natural beauty, with the River Axe estuary being very popular for fishing, and where the river meets the sea at Lyme Bay, it becomes part of the World Heritage Jurassic Coast. It is not possible to mention all of the towns, village and hamlets etc. in this magazine but we will highlight a few. Seaton Tramway operates a three-mile route through the Axe Valley, between the coastal resort of Seaton, the village of Colyford and the town of Colyton.
Beer has a brook in the centre of the village, with the bay and beach being a sheltered suntrap. Tere are boats to hire, plus fishing trips etc. A place to visit is the famous Beer Quarry Caves and PECORAMA just outside of the village. Te Dolphin has a good reputation for food.
PECORAMA is located on the hillside above the fishing village of Beer, with the gardens, offer stunning views of Lyme Bay and feature a mile-long miniature steam railway, indoor and outdoor play areas, crazy golf course, fitness trail and licensed restaurant. Also found on site is the PECO Model Railway Exhibition, displaying wonderful layouts in many different gauges.
Stylish Seaton has a reputation for visitors who want to enjoy a
quiet seaside holiday or a romantic weekend, but the new attraction in town may challenge this image. Tere is a shingle beach and an unusual cliff formation either side of the harbour with red cliffs on one side and white on the other.
Tings to do in Seaton consist of a wide range of activities, attractions and events, notably the Seaton Carnival, encompassing a food festival, a parade and many other activities in late summer. Te SEATON JURASSIC HERITAGE CENTRE is located just off Harbour Road. Take a journey through time to worlds familiar and alien, this is a great DAY OUT. Additionally in and around the town there are arcades, a bowling green, miniature golf or tennis, a holiday camp and much more for all age groups. For the very active, the Grizzly Run is an annual cross country run commencing in Seaton and going through Beer and Branscombe. Tere are also many scenic walks to and from the town. Tis is Fossil hunting country, but please be careful as the cliffs can be
treacherous. For a good pub meal try the KINGS ARMS.
