Why visit Sidmouth?

HOT NEWS May 10th 2006 - Sidmouth voted by Holiday Which? as one of  the top five British Seaside towns. Their description

'An elegant Regency town, flanked by glorious coastal cliff scenery.... civilised Sidmouth

Transformed from a quiet fishing village to a fashionable seaside town, visited by toffs and Royals, with neat Regency hotels lining the seafront, Sidmouth has changed little since its heyday in the early 19th century."

Visitors often say "Once you come to Sidmouth, you keep on coming year after year".

because Sidmouth is...

• so relaxing ....
• a Beautiful Regency conservation Town with more Listed Buildings than any other town of its size.
• in a dramatic setting on the UNESCO World Heritage Jurassic Coast.
• a town that has changed little in 50 years. Quaint streets, shops and pubs. Idyllic.
• home to 2 great beaches listed in the Good Beach Guide. Jacob's Ladder & Town Beach (Gently shelving pebbles & sand)
• an unspoilt Town - no arcades, Well maintained street scenes.
• Britain's Top Floral town. Winners of Britain in Bloom on countless occasions
• Well off the beaten track (no through roads) But an ideal base to visit Dartmoor, Dorchester, The Fleet & Torbay (all about an hour away) or Lyme Regis, Branscombe, Exmouth, Ottery St Mary, Topsham, Honiton, Otterton (all less than 1/2 hour away).
