Sidmouth is the quintessential English seaside resort. There are beautiful gardens, leisurely walks, regency history, clean beaches and friendly shops. It's all here in this lovely town that nestles beneath majestic red cliffs and the green hills of the glorious Sid Valley.It has two delightful pebble beaches which give way to golden sand and rock pools at low tide.

The Connaught gardens contain a fine range of herbaceous plants which thrive in the temperate climate. The gardens are also used for a wide range of cultural activities including music, drama and art where the bandstand set in green lawn provides a superb environment.

Those wishing to take a gentle walk can stroll along the Esplanade, through the Connaught Gardens or along the parkland known as the "Byes". More energetic walkers could tackle the 500 feet high Peak Hill, Salcombe Hill or follow the coastal path.
