The River Sid, from Fortescue, Sidmouth
The best way to start the day.. An early morning walk, watch the wildlife, and just enjoy the peace and nature at its best. Also a great place to walk the dog, go for a bike ride, make new friends, have a picnic, read a book, take photos, sit and relax etc. Every day is different. Avoid the traffic and pollution. It stretches from Sidmouth to Sidford and there is so much to explore. One of my favourite places.
Peaceful, lovely walk from Lymbourne Park to town center. Not far but really beautiful. Loved my visit, twice now.
One of my favourite places � the most relaxing place ever to watch the world go by. Always well used by families, dog walkers etc. Wildlife great and all very well maintained.
Lovely place for walking the dog and enjoying the lawn, the beautiful old trees and the river.
Would love to live there
I spent most of my time at The Byes as a child when we came down to Sidmouth. So much fun. Miss it .
I love it it's a really great place to take the dogs out and let them off the lead without the worry of them running into a road. Love it.
Beautiful place!! One of our favourites�
Absolutely stunning, lovely place to go,nature at it's best, beautiful walks, plenty of places to sit and enjoy the tranquil of it all. Worth a visit anytime of year.
