Sidmouth Town Beach — Attraction in England

With a bygone feel of old English seaside, Sidmouth sea front both delights and comforts it's inhabitants and visitors, who are mostly of an age when a walk along by the sea is ideally not a laborious hike but a stroll, designed to stretch the muscles and fill the lungs with glorious health giving sea air.
