East Devon.

Welcome to East Devon, with its wonderful countryside, picturesque towns and villages and World Heritage Coastline.

Much of East Devon is an area of outstanding natural beauty.
From the purple heather and yellow gorse clad heath land of Woodbury Common, to the unspoilt woods and hidden valleys of the Blackdown Hills to the coast where the Estuaries of the Rivers Exe and Axe are home to countless migratory birds, East Devon is the ideal English landscape

The Axe Valley with its picturesque scenery offers a further choice of accommodation in the nearby charming Devon villages of Axmouth and Colyford, whilst the medieval town of Colyton is just 3 miles from the coast.

East Devon has more to offer with its festivals, adventure activities, historic houses, antique shops and welcoming inns, restaurants and cafes. East Devon has something to offer everyone.

Alternatively choose the freedom of a self catering cottage or apartment, the charms of a traditional seaside guest house or the great family facilities at Seaton's Lyme Bay Holiday Village. For those who like to be completely independent, there are caravan parks and camping sites.

Sidmouth

Before 1800 Sidmouth was a small fishing village with a population of 1200 clustered in tiny cottages near the beach. In Regency times, the Nobility and members of London Society built fine houses in Sidmouth. Many still exist, while others have become hotels without losing their Regency charm. The Sidmouth folk festival each August is one of the biggest in Europe and fills the town with folk musicians and street entertainers.
