Associated text: [Cresswell, Rev. Richard.] The tourist's and visitor's handbook of Sidmouth and its neighbourhood. London: Whittaker and Co., 1841. p. 51.

The sportsman will not find game very abundant; rabbits are common, and hares are not rare; a few foxes harbour in the cliffs, but there are no regular packs of hounds.
