Tranquil wildflower meadow with breathtaking views over Sidmouth and across the bay to Portland on a clear day.
Just a stone’s throw from the coastal path, Delderfield is a great place to stop off for a peaceful picnic. While away a quiet hour on a sunny day, enjoy the wild flowers in the meadow and the hum of insects in the air.
The nature reserve was named after the novelist and dramatist RF Delderfield, best known for his novels ‘To Serve Them All My Days’ and ‘A Horseman Riding By’ which were later adapted for television. The little thatched house up on the hillside looking south west from the nature reserve was Delderfield's home; it is called ‘The Gazebo’ and he commissioned it to be built in 1962.
