About

Sidmouth Town sits at the mouth of the River Sid, sheltered by the red cliffs of the Jurassic Coast. The main town is a compact grid of streets centred on the historic parish church. The Esplanade, a level promenade, runs along the seafront, lined with traditional Regency and Georgian buildings in pale stone and cream render. This flat walkway provides direct access to the town's main beach, which is composed of pebbles.

Inland from the seafront, the streets rise steeply into the Sid Valley. The town is known for its well-preserved architectural character, with many independent shops and businesses operating from these historic premises. A unique and specific local tradition is the annual Sidmouth Folk Festival, which fills the entire town with music and dance. The Ham, a grassy recreation ground beside the river, serves as a central green space for community events.
