Natural Beauty

Stoneleigh is set within an area of outstanding natural beauty, and overlooks the sea at Weston Coombe. Just down the road is the lovely regency town of Sidmouth, boasting a beach amongst the cleanest in Britain.

The coastline from Sidmouth to the quaint fishing village of Beer is owned by the National Trust, and this includes the picturesque village of Branscombe,



which has a working water mill and forge, not to mention its own brewery ! Set on the beach at Branscombe is the thatched Sea Shanty restaurant which is owned and run by The National Trust..

There are a myriad of footpaths around Stoneleigh encompassing heathland, wooded coombes, cliffs and beaches. You can walk to the shingle beach from Stoneleigh, less than a mile away. Lyme Bay is now known as the Jurassic Coast due to the dinosaur fossils found at Lyme Regis which in turn has lead to the coastline becoming a World Heritage Site,





as well as being recognised in the UK as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
