Einstein71 Posted July 5, 2020 Report Share Posted July 5, 2020 Im from Sidmouth originally and I would avoid Seaton/Lyme Regis area. Seaton used to have a holiday camp there and has a bad reputation locally South Hams has a better climate and if you avoid Salcombe the rest of the area is reasonably priced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Untoward Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 My In-Laws have retired to Ashprington, near Totnes. We live closer to the New Forest and East Dorset. Geographically, I think parts of Dorset (Weymouth and Bournemouth areas) are better for transport links by Road and Train. In the South Hams, relatively short journeys take forever by car, and the whole area is very hilly. Some lovely beaches and Countryside, though. If you based yourself near Kingsbridge, you would have lots of options on beaches and villages. Also, a bit closer to Plymouth if you needed anything from a City.
