Sidmouth is a compact Regency-era seaside town on the English Channel in East Devon, Devon, England. It sits in a sheltered bay of the Jurassic Coast where the River Sid reaches the sea, framed by red sandstone cliffs, pebble and sandy beaches and attractive cliff-top walks on the South West Coast Path.
Characterised by elegant terraces, a genteel seafront and well-kept gardens such as Connaught Gardens, the town is best known for its long-running folk festival and a local economy driven by tourism, hospitality and services for a sizeable retired community; surrounding East Devon farmland and conservation designations help preserve the area's landscape and make it popular for walkers and nature lovers.
