| The
countryside around Sidmouth is so precious that it has been designated as an ‘Area
of Outstanding Natural Beauty’ or ‘AONB’. For more information please visit www.eastdevonaonb.org.uk The
East Devon AONB is just that – outstanding! It is part of the same family of protected
landscapes that also includes National Parks. In addition the geology of East
Devon and Dorset coastline is so special that it has been designated as England’s
first natural World Heritage Site- the Jurassic Coast. Join us onboard for
the best views! The Stagecoach 157 service gets you along the Triassic red
cliffs, this area used to be a desert 225 million years ago! to Exmouth at the
start of the World Heritage Coast. This route also allows you to explore the remarkable
landscapes of the Pebblebed Commons, Budleigh Salterton and the Otter Estuary,
or walk in the footsteps of Sir Walter Raleigh. Eat local, buy local - If
you are feeling peckish, take the Stagecoach 52B service to Honiton, via the Saxon
village of Sidbury. Sample seasonal fayre at the Honiton farmers market or learn
more about its fascinating lace-making history. Access the Jurassic CoastlinX53

Site. Memorable walks & wild days out - For something a little different,
the Axe Valley Mini Travel 899 service gets you into the heart of the picturesque
villages of Branscombe and Beer. It makes the ideal service for creating your
