Observatory Visit

Following the decision taken last night to join with the Senior Club for a visit to the Norman Lockyer Observatory in March 2013 you may like to put a date in your diary.

 

 

The start time is 7.30 sharp as we will be part if a large group having a tour and talk. Doors will be open from 7pm so please try to get there is good time. If you have no alternative but to be a little late, due to work commitments etc., please let me know. Friends, prospective members?, and family welcome.

 

Further details will follow once I have heard back from Michael Dodds.

Address:

Norman Lockyer Observatory,

Salcombe Hill Road,

Sidmouth, Devon, EX10 0NY, England The Observatory is about 2 km east of Sidmouth and 0.5 km from the

coast. It is on the north side of Salcombe Hill Road which runs between the town and Trow Farm, where it

joins the east-west A3052.

At Sidford there is a junction with traffic lights where the north-south A375 crosses the east-west A3052. Travelling east from

this junction, crossing the River Sid and starting to climb Trow Hill, one comes to Stevens Cross. Turn right here, going along

Sid Road through Fortescue, and after 2km turn left up Salcombe Hill towards the Observatory.

The NLO can also be approached from the east by the unclassified road (narrow in places, signed 'Salcombe Regis 1')

which leaves the A3052 at Trow Farm.
