Devon's best kept secret

Welcome to Sidmouth – a place that is easy to find and hard to leave. 

Hidden in plain view along the beautiful Jurassic Coast, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Sidmouth is a seaside town like no other. Sitting along an impressive coastline and surrounded by spectacular countryside and Blue Flag award winning beaches, Sidmouth allows you to enjoy the best of both worlds, with everything you can expect from a beach holiday as well as having a rural feel and a real community atmosphere. 

'A town caught still in a timeless charm'

Poet Laureate, John Betjeman, chose those words to describe Sidmouth after being captivated by its beautiful gardens, leisurely walks, clean beaches and Regency history. This lovely seaside town is nestled beneath majestic red cliffs, which, along with the green hills of the Sid Valley, will captivate you too.  

Sidmouth really is a town like no other, located in East Devon and full of friendly faces and beautiful scenery, it is no wonder that Sidmouth is a firm favourite among families and tourists looking for a seaside resort. The dramatic cliffs, fresh sea air and the abundance of attractions makes it a wonderful place to recharge the batteries. It’s the kind of town where you can do everything or nothing at all, you can make a splash by taking on some watersports, savour a cream tea or two at one of the town’s many hotels and cafes, spend some time exploring the South West Coast Path or discover a new passion at one Sidmouth’s regular festivals.  

The resort with royal approval 

Sidmouth has been a favourite among families looking for a beach holiday since Queen Victoria was a child. She, like many of us, spent several of her childhood holidays enjoying the sun and sand at this charming location in East Devon. This is just one of the town’s many royal connections. Queen Victoria’s love affair with Sidmouth continued throughout her life and reign and the beautiful Connaught Gardens are named for her son, the Duke of Connaught.  

The Connaught Gardens are one of the town’s highlights, along with the seafront, Jacob’s Ladder and the regular events and festivals that take place all year around. These along with Sidmouth’s location, the grand Regency style hotels, stylish eateries and bustling town centre is why it is such a popular destination.  

Sidmouth’s beach is the perfect spot for sun catching, rockpooling, swimming and playing, it’s a safe coastal area to explore and the beautiful surroundings make it a wonderful place to visit all year around whatever the weather.  

Being part of the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Sidmouth is incredibly scenic and is ideal for anyone who loves being outside and enjoying the natural world, whether that is walking, cycling, hiking or photographing the region you’ll find plenty of exciting places to explore.  

Visit Sidmouth and see Devon’s top attractions 

Because of its popularity with families and holiday makers, Sidmouth is home to several of Devon’s favourite tourist attractions and within easy reach of many more. You’ll find award-winning adventure activities, theatres, parks and more right in the heart of Sidmouth where you can enjoy all the fun of a day out whilst still experiencing the town’s Regency feel. One of the most popular attractions in the region is the Sidmouth Donkey Sanctuary which has over 500 rescued donkeys for you to befriend and even offers a quality Sunday Roast – be sure to book in quick though – they’re very popular and the restaurant fills up fast! 

So, whether you want to spend a day on the beach hunting in the rock pools, taking a walk around the heritage trails, getting some fresh air in the numerous parks or tiring out the kids at one of the popular attractions, there is something to suit everyone here.  

Sidmouth is a popular destination but it isn’t a tourist trap, we can guarantee though, that it will trap your heart!
