Things to Do in East Devon
During your stay at Hotel Riviera, one of the leading Sidmouth hotels, you should certainly take the opportunity to explore some of the delightful villages, rolling countryside and coastline of East Devon.
On foot, there are breathtaking walks along the Heritage Coast Trail as far as your legs will carry you. By car, the possibilities are too numerous, but here are some of our favourite recommendations:
* Dartmoor; with its mile after mile of ever-changing scenery, is of course a ‘must’ for every visitor.* Just to the west of Sidmouth lies the Raleigh Country. Sir Walter was born at Hayes Barton, in a beautiful Tudor building which is now a farmhouse.* Neighbouring East Budleigh is a peaceful village with thatched cottages climbing a steep hill.* Due North of here are Bicton Gardens, which were designed by Andre le Notre, who planned the gardens of Versailles, and are of outstanding horticultural interest.* South of Sidmouth is Budleigh Salterton, whose sea wall is the setting of Sir John Milais’s’ famous painting ‘The Boyhood of Raleigh’
The Hotel Riviera in Sidmouth remains unsurpassed as one of the finest and most idyllic touring bases in the South West and we very much look forward to welcoming you.
