Situation

Sidmouth is a beautiful and unspoilt seaside town, steeped in history and nestled within the rolling hills of the Sid Valley. Much of the town forms part of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site and the surrounding countryside lies within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, making it one of East Devon’s most desirable coastal locations. The town offers an excellent range of amenities including a variety of independent shops and High Street retailers, Waitrose and Lidl supermarkets, a theatre, cinema, modern doctors’ surgery and cottage hospital, together with the historic Regency esplanade and an eighteen-hole golf course.

Leisure opportunities are plentiful, from scenic walks along the famous seafront and the dramatic 250-million-year-old Jurassic Coast, to cycling through the surrounding countryside and enjoying a variety of leisure centres. Sidmouth’s position on the English Channel also provides opportunities for sailing and a range of water sports during the summer months, while the nearby East Devon countryside offers countless opportunities for outdoor pursuits.

Sidmouth is well connected, lying approximately 10 miles from Exmouth and around 14 miles east of Exeter, where there are direct rail connections to London, along with excellent road links and regular bus services serving the surrounding area. The bustling market Town of Honiton is approximately 9 miles to the North and offers a further range of amenities, right on your doorstep. The region also benefits from a number of well-regarded educational facilities within five miles, including Sidmouth College and the independent St John’s School.
