Sidmouth Tourist Information
Holidays in Sidmouth invite guests to enjoy a popular beach surrounded by nostalgic buildings, framed by dramatic red cliffs dating back to the Triassic period. Beautiful Sidmouth prides itself on its blooming displays of flowers, and its visitors will be treated to the sights and scents of the displays all over the town.
The charming town centre offers a mixture of original shops where shoppers are sure to find something they haven’t seen elsewhere! If you’re feeling energetic, why not climb Jacob’s Ladder – a set of steps reaching from the beach all the way to the Connaught Gardens on top of the cliffs? Although on the steep side, the views are well worth it.
