Perched on the cliffs
overlooking the sea, Connaught
Gardens is a horticultural
delight. Explore beautifully
landscaped gardens with
vibrant flowers, enjoy
panoramic views of the
coastline and relax in this
tranquil haven. From here you
can make your way to Jacob’s
Ladder, a zigzagging set of
stairs leading to Jacob’s Ladder
Beach, an enclosed beach
surrounded by Sidmouth’s
iconic red sandstone cliffs.
The town is an oasis for walkers,
with the South West Coast Path
leading eastward to
picturesque villages like
Branscombe and Beer,
extending to Seaton. To the
west, the coastal path guides
you to Ladram Bay, showcasing
stunning red rock stacks and
onwards to Budleigh Salterton.
Dedicate some
moments to wander
through the town centre,
steeped in regal and
architectural heritage,
while also exploring an
array of wonderful
businesses.
Explore the independent
boutiques and
charming eateries.
Sidmouth offers a mix of
artisanal products, local
crafts and a variety of
dining options, from
traditional tearooms to
seafood restaurants.
After conquering the
captivating cliffs and savouring
the panoramic view, treating
yourself to an ice cream is
undoubtedly well-deserved.
