The church is open every day from 9am to 5pm except when services are taking place. Enjoy the peace of this 160 year-old church with its 15th century tower and 12th century foundations. Admire the craftmanship of the stained glass windows that tell the story of Jesus.

The historic Alma bridge, built over 100 years ago, was damaged in severe flooding and rendered unsafe for use long term. The bridge provides access to the seafront over the River Sid and acts as a gateway to the South West Coast Path. A large project was undertaken to replace it - the new bridge was moved 40 metres inland and a nautical, contemporary design was selected. The project also undertook extensive cliff reprofiling and stabilisation work. Despite COVID restrictions hampering the project, the bridge was opened at the end of 2020. The structure was clad in our Purbeck Royal Blue stone to match the existing walling and, more fittingly, it's one of the limestone beds found on the Jurassic Coast. We supplied approx. 60 tonne of Purbeck Stone which is ideal for this type of applictaion; it's hardwearing and durable, even against some of the harshest environmental elements. Purbeck Royal Blue is a stunning natural building stone with a rich blue heart and brown border which offers a fabulous depth of colour and a lot of character, suitable for new-builds and restoration schemes alike and has been used extensively throughout the UK.

Cliffs flank either side of Sidmouth Esplanade, where people have walked since the 18th century. Until then, Sidmouth was a quiet fishing village, but the fashionable thirst for fresh sea air saw people flock to take in the restorative climate. Notable visitors include Jane Austen. The York Hotel, on the east side of the Esplanade, was Sidmouth's first purpose-built hotel and regency buildings can be seen all along the sea front.

Sidmouth lifeboat is a fully self-funded independent lifeboat in East Devon, covering an area of approximately 150 square miles of sea between Axmouth and Budleigh Salterton. It is not part of, or funded by the RNLI, although it has close links with them. It has a volunteer crew that are on service 24 hours a day, 365 days per year. It has two boats: an Arctic 24 self-righting Rigid Inflatable Inshore lifeboat and a smaller Sidmouth 2 boat. It also provides lifeguard services and sea safety education to the local community.

Plenty of eateries/drinks to be had along the esplanade
