  • Our Lovely River Otter Looking Over the Flower Baskets on Tipton St John Bridge Photo: Thanks to Jeff Chapman
    Newton Poppleford Harpford & Colaton Raleigh Our lovely River Otter looking over the flower baskets on Tipton St John bridge photo: thanks to Jeff Chapman St Luke St Gregory the Great St John the Baptist Newton Poppleford Harpford (BCP) Colaton Raleigh "Normal" Sunday services are unlikely to be happening for some while yet. A Sunday service on 'Zoom' is held at 10.00am each Sunday mainly for the congregations of Mark's 'patch' – the parishes of Newton Poppleford, Harpford, Colaton Raleigh and Tipton St John with Venn Ottery – though anyone with internet access is welcome to join in. Email Mark Ward (as below) to receive the link to join in. Ring a friend if you don't know how to use Zoom – more than half the population have learnt how to use it in the last few months. Mark is planning to follow this each Sunday with a simple said service in St Luke's Church, Newton Poppleford at 11.00am. Of course, this will have to follow the safety rules – hand sanitising on entry and exit, social distancing and wearing of face covering. No singing is permitted, so it won't be 'returning to normal' At present, chairs are set out at 2 metre distancing, so there is only space for some 20 people (depending on how many come as couples or family groups). You'll be welcomed if you do come, but please obey any instructions from the steward, and don't be disappointed if there is not enough room to fit you in safely. Colaton Raleigh Church is open for private prayer a couple of mornings a week – see the notice board on the church gate for updated days and times, and please respect the safety and distancing rules.

  • What Is Different About the Sidmouth Folk Festival This Year?
    What is different about the Sidmouth Folk Festival this year? This year, due to the Covid pandemic, we are running a Celebration of the Sidmouth Folk Festival. This is a far smaller event than a normal Sidmouth Folk Festival and we will only be using outdoor spaces at the Blackmore Gardens and the Ham and currently no indoor spaces. For this year only there are no season tickets to purchase, just event tickets for the evening concerts we are holding in Blackmore Gardens. All other events we are providing within Blackmore Gardens and the Ham are free with donations to collectors encouraged. All paid for events are taking place in the open air within Blackmore Gardens. For Blackmore Gardens please note: • you will need to bring your own portable seating, rug, be prepared to stand or sit on the grass; • there will be designated areas for the placement of seats in order to ensure good sightlines for all; • after the end of the afternoon entertainment at 1730 you will be asked to fully vacate the concert arena, along with all your belongings, whilst we prepare for the evening concert; • no pop-up tents, gazebos, umbrellas or anything that will affect sightlines can be put up within the concert arena; • from Saturday everyone will be required to vacate the Gardens 1845-1900 whilst we reset for the evening concert; • no dogs allowed in the Gardens during the Festival; • no smoking allowed within the Gardens during the Festival. Please follow the instructions and guidance of Festival stewards at all times. We will be running a Covid-Safe event following all appropriate procedures relevant to us at the time.

  • Site Improvement Plan Sidmouth to West Bay
    Improvement Programme for England's Natura 2000 Sites (IPENS) Planning for the Future Site Improvement Plan Sidmouth to West Bay Site Improvement Plans (SIPs) have been developed for each Natura 2000 site in England as part of the Improvement Programme for England's Natura 2000 sites (IPENS). Natura 2000 sites is the combined term for sites designated as Special Areas of Conservation (SAC) and Special Protected Areas (SPA). This work has been financially supported by LIFE, a financial instrument of the European Community. The plan provides a high level overview of the issues (both current and predicted) affecting the condition of the Natura 2000 features on the site(s) and outlines the priority measures required to improve the condition of the features. It does not cover issues where remedial actions are already in place or ongoing management activities which are required for maintenance. The SIP consists of three parts: a Summary table, which sets out the priority Issues and Measures; a detailed Actions table, which sets out who needs to do what, when and how much it is estimated to cost; and a set of tables containing contextual information and links. Once this current programme ends, it is anticipated that Natural England and others, working with landowners and managers, will all play a role in delivering the priority measures to improve the condition of the features on these sites. The SIPs are based on Natural England's current evidence and knowledge. The SIPs are not legal documents, they are live documents that will be updated to reflect changes in our evidence/knowledge and as actions get underway.

  • The 'Red Coast'
    The ‘Red Coast’ - Exmouth to Sidmouth Place To Walk Location & Access: The route is described from Exmouth to Sidmouth, but could be reversed. Exmouth can be reached via A376 road from Exeter. There is also a regular train link from Exeter Central Station and a regular bus service (number 57) from Exeter. There is plenty of parking in the town of Exmouth, and this walk begins at the car park close to the sea front to east of town - past the Maer recreation ground, and by the lifeboat station at GR SY0121 8000. At the completion of the walk, a return bus (number 57) is available from Sidmouth. Hern Point Rock, Ladram Bay Key Geography: Stunning section of the South West Coast Path - part of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site. SSSI, Triassic geology, spits, steep cliffs, coastal erosion, landslips, sea stacks. Description: This walk of 12.5 miles (20 km) covers a stunning section of the 95 miles Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its geology includes Permian and Triassic rocks overlain in part by rocks from the Cretaceous Period. It is informally known as the ‘Red Coast’ due to the colour of the cliffs. From the car park, there is a brief moment to admire the sandy beach of Exmouth before making for the cliffs at eastern end of esplanade. Here, the cliffs of Rodney Point give the first decent view of the red geology. From here, the path climbs to Orcombe Point, where it is possible to stop and take a look at the geoneedle, a monument that marks the start of the Jurassic Coast.
