Sidford High Street is home to a convenience store and Post Office, a hairdresser and several popular pubs and restaurants whilst a large health centre and Waitrose are less than a mile away. Sidford is a pretty village on the outskirts of the popular seaside town of Sidmouth in Devon. Considered to be the gateway to the beautiful landscape of The Jurassic Coast, a large part of the town is also designated conservation area. The picturesque Regency Town has an excellent selection of independent shops, eateries and amenities which include a swimming pool, library, theatre, cinema and a community hospital. Sidford is perfectly placed for exploring the famous South West Coast Path with walks to suit all ages and abilities.
