Sidford

Sidford is a village located within the Sid Valley, positioned towards the northern end of the valley. For the purposes of the Sidmouth Nature project the site is the area to the east of the river Sid here with the access point to the River Sid being available from the main road bridge at Sidford, leading south towards Fortescue. This permissive footpath runs alongside the river for about a quarter of a mile and then turns inland through a rough meadow to a gate onto the road to the north of Fortescue.This is a short walk in itself but can be combined with a wander along the quiet road to Fortescue, then turning down to the new bridge and along the footpath to emerge onto The Byes path where one turns right and walks back to the main road in Sidford.   "What is Sidford and where is it located?
