Why Move to Sidmouth
Nestled along the Jurassic Coast of Devon and facing the English Channel, Sidmouth is a Regency Town by the sea, a special place. Sitting along an impressive coastline and surrounded by spectacular countryside and award-winning Blue Flag beaches, Sidmouth allows you to enjoy the best of both worlds.
Traditional entertainment such as bowls, putting greens, and carefully tended municipal gardens has attracted older holidaymakers in the past, but these days Sidmouth is enjoyed by all ages. The main beach is part sand part shingle, ideal for fossil hunting. The promenade is backed by plenty of shops selling the usual wares such as buckets and spades, rock, and candyfloss.
Alternatively, you can turn inland and explore the stunning East Devon AONB. 100 square miles of nature and wildlife amid encompassing heathland and wooded valleys.
Sidmouth benefits from a close-knit community and plenty of clubs, societies, and organised activities for all, young and old.
The closest motorway is the M5, running north and south from Exeter to Bristol whilst the A3052 coast road poses an alternative route east to west from Lyme Regis to Exeter.
Shopping in the town is more than adequate with a good selection of shops such as Tesco and Co-op which sit alongside numerous pubs and restaurants. In less than 40 minutes you can be in Exeter. Larger, it has a great choice of shops and is where plenty of Sidmouth’s population travel for work.
Exeter’s retail scene features most major national stores including John Lewis, which has been refreshed with the opening of eight new restaurants within the Guildhall Shopping and Dining Centre. These are just a few of the reasons why moving to Sidmouth could be the best move you ever make.
