Day 1
Depart the local area with a lunch stop on route, arriving at our hotel in Sidmouth late afternoon. This glorious regency seaside town is nestled into the Jurassic Coast and yet enjoys a largely flat town centre. The highly regarded Royal York & Faulkner Hotel is positioned in the centre of the elegant Esplanade.
|Day 2
Today we visit Forde Abbey & Gardens, home to the stunning Mortlake tapestries, now housed in the V&A, the Abbey has a rich and varied history spanning 900 years. Through the centuries, it has played host to Cistercian monks at prayer, 19th-century philosophers, and politicians. By misfortune implicated in the Monmouth Rebellion and more recently, the backdrop to the Hollywood adaptation of Thomas Hardy's 'Far From the Madding Crowd.' Home to the highest-powered fountain in the country, the award-winning gardens include topiary-lined vistas, colourful herbaceous borders, an arboretum, and a bog garden.
|Day 3
A day at leisure in Sidmouth. Visit the magnificent Connaught Gardens for a relaxing sit amongst the many "rooms" of colourful planting, enjoy the compact town centre, or while away some time on the promenade or beach.
|Day 4
Today we travel along the coast to Seaton where we board the tram to Colyton. Time to enjoy a cup of tea and look around the shops before the return to Seaton. On our return to the hotel, we visit the Donkey Sanctuary.
