Sidmouth lies at the mouth of the River Sid in the East Devon district, 15 miles (24 km) south east of Exeter. It has a population of about 15,000, of whom 40% are over 65. The town is a tourist resort and a gateway town on the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site. A large part of the town has been designated as a conservation area.

Described by the late Poet Laureat Sir John Betjamen as a town ‘caught still in a timeless charm’, Sidmouth retains all that is best in an English seaside town with its unspoilt colourful Esplanade, Regency terraces and beautifully maintained parks and gardens.

Sidmouth nestles in a sheltered valley with majestic red cliffs rising each side to protect the town and which provide superb walks and panoramic views.

Originally a small fishing village, Sidmouth still has fishing boats at Port Royal and an annual regatta hosted by the Sailing Club. Other sporting activities include a well regarded Golf Club, an ideally situated Cricket & Croquet Club, Bowls Club, Tennis Courts and an Indoor Swimming Pool. The town is fortunate in having it’s own Theatre, the Manor Pavilion and a delightful Art Deco Style Cinema. The Sidmouth band plays regularly at Connaught Gardens and the town population expands considerably each August when it hosts the famous International Folk Festival.

History

Sidmouth appeared in the Domesday Book as Sedemuda. Like many towns on the south coast, it was a small fishing village. Though attempts have been made to construct a harbour here, none have succeeded, and a lack of shelter in the bay prevented the town growing as a port. Sidmouth remained a small village until the fashion for coastal resorts grew in the Georgian and Victorian periods of the 18th and 19th centuries. The town's numerous fine Georgian and Regency villas and mansions are now mostly hotels.

In 1819, George III's son Edward, Duke of Kent, his wife and baby daughter (the future Queen Victoria) came to stay at Woolbrook Glen for a few weeks. In less than a month he had died after a brief illness. The house later became the Royal Glen Hotel, and a plaque on an exterior wall records the visit.

In 1874, Sidmouth was connected to the railway network by a branch line from Sidmouth Junction to Sidmouth railway station. The line was dismantled in 1967 as part of the Beeching Axe. In 2008, Canadian millionaire, Keith Owen, who had vacationed in the town and planned to retire there, bequeathed the community's civic society, Sid Vale Association, about £1.5 million upon learning that he had only weeks to live due to lung cancer. The bequest is to be used as a capital fund which would generate an annual interest dividend of around £60,000 annually for community projects. The Sidmouth Museum is run by the Association.

Geography

Sidmouth, as its name suggests, lies at the mouth of the River Sid in a valley between Peak Hill to the west and Salcombe Hill to the east. The town is surrounded by the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is on the Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage Site, and the South West Coast Path. Sidmouth's rocks contain fossils and so this stretch of coast is part of the Jurassic coast world heritage site. The red-coloured rocks indicate the arid conditions of the Triassic.

Erosion remains a serious concern east of the mouth of the River Sid. The cliffs have been heavily eroded, threatening clifftop homes and the coastal footpath.

A wide esplanade has been a seafront feature since Regency times. A series of southwesterly storms in the early 1990s washed away much of the shingle beach protecting the masonry, and a series of artificial rock islands was constructed to protect the sea front and tons of pebbles were trucked in to replace the beach.

Culture

The Manor Pavilion houses a small arts centre and a theatre that plays host to both amateur and professional productions. The town has one cinema, the Radway Cinema. Sidmouth has been a frequent winner of the Britain in Bloom awards. Most recently it won the Small Town category in 2001 and the Coastal Resort category in 2005.

The parish church is St Giles & St Nicholas. Sidmouth Museum, next door to the church, has local memorabilia, historical artefacts, and geological samples.

Sidmouth is home to the Norman Lockyer Observatory and Planetarium, located on a hilltop site at Salcombe. The observatory, completed in 1912, fell into disuse and ruin but was saved from demolition by the appeals of local enthusiasts to East Devon District Council. The observatory now operates as a science education project and is open to the public.

The Sidmouth Herald is the local newspaper.

Folk Week

Sidmouth Folk Week is a famous annual folk festival in early August attracting musicians and visitors from around the world. Due to the increased cost of public liability insurance, it became less financially viable over the years and in 2005 the last of the commercial sponsors, essential for its existence, pulled out. To continue the tradition, individuals grouped together to form Sidmouth FolkWeek Productions, a limited company. Since the change of format, the event has been held on a smaller scale, with no arena at the Knowle, though marquees are still erected in the Blackmore Gardens and The Ham, which is at the eastern end of the town.

Literary references

Sidmouth has featured in literary works, including as "Stymouth" in Beatrix Potter's children's story The Tale of Little Pig Robinson (1930). The author includes views of the beach and other parts of the Devon countryside in the work. In Thomas Hardy's Wessex, the town is the inspiration for "Idmouth" in West Wessex. "Baymouth" in William Makepeace Thackeray's Pendennis, and "Spudmouth" in the The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood by Howard Pyle, are both based on the town.

Sidmouth was a favourite location for Sir John Betjeman. He chose it as the subject of the first programme of the television series John Betjeman In The West Country that he wrote and presented in 1962. The script takes the form of an extended poem, Still Sidmouth (a copy is available at Torbay View for you to read) and was republished in 2000 as a short book, illustrated with shots from the programme. Sidmouth Town Band

During the summer, the Sidmouth Town Band, a brass band, play a series of concerts in the Connaught Gardens each Sunday evening at 8pm. This tradition has been maintained since the band was formed in the early 1860s and runs from late May until early September.

Having enjoyed a period of steady progression in recent years, the Town Band has strengthened its position as one of the most popular and entertaining in Devon.

WHAT TO SEE AND DO

The best starting point when planning your activities in and around Sidmouth is the Tourist Information Centre located on Ham Lane.

Sidmouth Museum

Opening hours: (April-October) Monday: 1.00 - 4.00pm Tuesday – Saturday: 10.00am – 4.00pm Sunday: Closed

ADMISSION IS FREE Sidmouth Museum, Hope Cottage, Church Street, Sidmouth EX10 8LY Tel: 01395 516139

Situated alongside the lych gate of the Parish church, Sidmouth Museum celebrates 240 million years of history. It offers something for everyone with an interest in the World Heritage Jurassic Coast, local history and archaeology.

There are permanent displays of fine prints, paintings and old photographs illustrating the history of Sidmouth from a fishing village, through its Regency period to the current time. A geological display describes the Jurassic coast. Displays intended to be semi-permanent on the ground floor, include the arrival of the railways in Sidmouth together with the Regency and Victoriana periods, all of which had such an impact on the development and reputation of Sidmouth. The railway exhibition provides a fascinating insight into travel in olden, and not so olden, days. The museum is indebted to Pat Mitchell for assembling one of the boards telling the story of Devon Caravette Company. VW vans were imported from Germany by rail, and Museum then converted to camper vans in Sidmouth. Orders for these vehicles came from such luminaries as Prince Rainer and Jimmy Saville!! Two other boards show the Sidmouth railway and the Sidmouth engine story.

Young people are especially well catered for with their own area and special Activity Days.

The Museum shop offers an interesting selection of local books, prints, fossils and minerals. The Torbay Museum is run entirely by volunteers under the Torbay View View expert guidance of the curator, Dr. Robert Symes OBE and is open from April to October.

Museum Walks

Free guided town strolls depart from the Museum every Tuesday and Thursday morning at 11.00am and on Wednesday afternoon at 2.00pm.

The Tuesday morning walk takes in the Western side of the town and uncovers information about interesting items such as:

 A Royal Holiday Cottage  King Chit  The Field by the Fort  Cotmaton to Coburg  Strawberry Hill

Wednesday afternoon strolls along the esplanade from the River Sid to Jacob ’s ladder provide an introduction to the World Heritage Jurassic Coast

Thursday morning examines the history behind the Eastern side of town and looks at, among others:

 Blackmore Bargains  The Horse’s Belly Ford  The Byes  Elysian Fields

Stroll along the beach

A most relaxing stroll takes you west along the seafront towards Jacob's ladder. At low tide walk down onto the sandy beach and explore the many rock pools and enjoy the views back towards the town and along the Jurassic Coast. When the tide is in you can take the Millennium Walkway beneath the cliffs round to Jacob's Ladder. Beyond the Ladder ascend to Connaught Gardens, either using the Ladder or the gentler zig-zag path and stop off for a drink and a cake at the Clock Tower Cafe before wandering back down to the Esplanade taking in the lovely views over Sidmouth. Since the storms of 2013, there is now a lovely long sandy beach exposed at low tide beyond Jacob’s ladder if you wish to continue your stroll.

Connaught Gardens Peak Hill Sidmouth

Connaught Gardens are a few minutes’ walk from Torbay View at Peak Hill. They offer a peaceful and relaxing environment to walk in whilst children and dogs can let off steam on the long grassy slope of Peak Hill which affords spectacular views back over Sidmouth and the Jurassic Coast. In summer there are regular evening concerts by the Sidmouth Town Band in the gardens. If you don’t want to walk up the hill, catch the free hopper

bus (see transport) to Manor Road car park. I During your visit to the Gardens, here are five activities not to be missed. 1. Take a look at the plants in the showhouse: This contains a range of carnivorous plants and cacti. The sweet smell as you enter the showhouse comes from the citrus tress along the back wall. 2. Stroll through the Topiary Garden: This small peaceful garden with its sunken centre and water feature was originally the kitchen garden for Clifton Cottage immediately to the east. 3. Explore ‘The Jungle’: This winding route takes you through the overhanging Holm Oaks and has changed little since the Gardens were open. A must for children with vivid imaginations – see if they can spot the fossilised shell on the grotto arch. 4. Enjoy the views along the cliffs: Some of the finest views along the Jurassic Cliffs of this World Heritage Site are to be seen from Connaught Gardens. Look west through the gothic arch from the Lime Kiln Garden and be amazed. 5. Relax with a cup of tea or ice cream: The "Les Routiers Guide" recommended Lime Kiln Tea Rooms - they offer anything from a refreshing warm drink to a fine meal. Ice cream is also available in the kiosk below.

Please take the separate leaflets in the lounge “Connaught Gardens Guide” and “Connaught Gardens Guided Plant Walk” for further information about the gardens.

Jacob’s Ladder

Jacob’s Ladder itself is the tall white set of steps that have been constructed to link the Gardens to the beach below. This is not, however, the first structure in this location. An access in this area actually dates back to the mid 19th Century when steps were cut into the cliff to give access to the beach below which had been largely inaccessible until then. This developed into a cart track that was used to transport lime (brought in by boat from places such as Branscombe) to the lime kiln which has now been converted into the Tea Rooms. The ongoing cliff erosion caused the path to fall in 1870 but access to the beach had become so popular with the Victorian population by this time that an extremely long ladder was built, like Jacob’s ladder to heaven, hence its name. The steep ladder was not popular though, being difficult to use in the dress of the day, and so a new ladder was constructed in much the same style as the steps of today. The chine with the zig-zag path down to the beach was not created until the 1950’s, the esplanade walk around the base of the cliff being completed a few years later.

The Donkey Sanctuary

Slade House Farm Sidmouth EX10 0NU Tel: 01395 578222 Website: www.thedonkeysanctuary.org.uk Opening times: open 365 days a year from 9.00 am to dusk with free admission. The Donkey Sanctuary is a UK based charity working worldwide to improve conditions for donkeys and mules. Its main headquarters at Slade Farm are open to the public. There are no commercial attractions - just gently rolling countryside with walks around the fields where you can meet the donkeys (there are around 500), who adore the fuss and attention received from visitors. Donkeys of all ages are resident at Slade Farm but a large percentage are elderly and remain here in order to be close to the veterinary hospital.

Visitors are free to spend as much time as they wish meeting the donkeys in the Main Yard where they wander at will. These donkeys live in the main barn with the other residents, some of which are over 40 years of age. The Donkey Sanctuary is a working farm and from time to time it is necessary to close certain areas to the public, where donkeys may be recovering from illness or other issues.

The Nature Centre (open April-September) is set within a small coastal woodland, bursting with wildlife. Follow the walks through the woods, around the meadow and down to the Jurassic Coast. Try activities and you will be surprised how much there is to learn about nature. For visitors who would like to see the donkeys out in the fields, there are number of walks around the Sanctuary. A guide containing all of the walks with information about what you will see on each of the walks is available to purchase from the Visitor's Centre.

Situated at the heart of The Donkey Sanctuary, the Hayloft restaurant is the ideal place to take a breather during your visit. This former barn for donkeys has been superbly renovated into a rustic and relaxing restaurant with windows overlooking the donkeys in the Main Yard.
