Sidbury is a village north of Sidmouth on the A375 road in East Devon.
It is situated on the River Sid, which rises at Ottery St Mary and runs for four miles to Lyme Bay at Sidmouth. There is a working watermill in the village. It is mentioned in the Domesday Book as the manor of Sideberia, held by Bishop Osbern of Exeter.
The Church of St Peter and St Giles has a Norman tower topped with a spire, a Saxon Crypt, a gunpowder storage room dating from the Napoleonic era and a 500 year old font.
Above the village is Sidbury Castle, the site of an Iron Age Hill fort. [1]
