Sidmouth
Sidmouth, with a population around
12,000, situated at the mouth of the River Sid about fifteen miles to
the south east of Exeter in Devon, was, for centuries, no more than a
small fishing village. Its growth began in the early nineteenth century,
when it established a reputation as a fashionable seaside resort. Today
it remains popular with holiday makers, attracted by its pleasant
beaches, mild climate, spectacular cliffs and fine regency architecture.
