captivate you, too.<br />
Beautiful gardens and leisurely walks, Regency<br />
history and fine hotels, clean beaches and<br />
friendly shops…. it’s all here in this <strong>lo</strong>vely<br />
seaside town that nestles beneath majestic<br />
red cliffs and the green hills of the g<strong>lo</strong>rious Sid<br />
Valley.<br />
Leaf through these pages to discover why so<br />
many ‘Visit Sidmouth’ to relax and unwind<br />
through all the seasons of the year. You will<br />

A Town with a rich history<br />
Extract from the 1917-18 Sidmouth Town Guide:<br />
Sidmouth<br />
The place and the people<br />
This sunny little Devon town, which may, without flight of<br />
fancy, be likened to the home of a modern parallel of the<br />
Goddess Hygéia, stands in a perfectly ideal situation. It<br />
is <strong>lo</strong>cated in the centre of beautifully wooded scenery, its<br />
south front touched by the waters of a great bay, stretching<br />
eastward from Start Point, on the extreme south coast of the<br />
county, as far as Portland Bill, in the the county of Dorset.<br />
Sidmouth nestles in an inner bay, between two great rocky<br />
formations of bright and varied tint, their caps c<strong>lo</strong>thed in<br />
brilliant green turf. Far away inland stretch <strong>lo</strong>vely hills<br />
and fertile valleys through which wind pictu<strong>res</strong>que roads,<br />
lanes and streams, the f<strong>lo</strong>wer-decked landscape basking for<br />
the greater part of the year in soft sunshine, or under skies<br />
whose tints and tones rival the variant g<strong>lo</strong>ries of the Tropics.<br />
A Sidmouth sunset, with its splendid ever-changing tints -<br />
gold, turquoise, crimson, emerald and violet - is a spectacle to<br />
linger in the mind for a lifetime.<br />
4
The architecture reveals the history<br />
Much of Sidmouth’s history is gleaned from the Blue Plaques on the buildings which<br />
mirror the era when the nobility and members of London Society built fine houses here.<br />
Many still exist, while others have become hotels without <strong>lo</strong>sing their Regency charm. The<br />
cob walled coffee shop (formerly the Old Ship Inn) originally thought to be a monastery,<br />
dates back to 1350 and it was certainly a smugglers’ rendezvous in the days of “brandy for<br />
the parson” and “baccy for the clerk”.<br />
Kennaway House<br />
Fortfield Terrace is another example of the style of the day. Here, a double-headed eagle<br />
commemorates the stay of the Grand Duchess of Russia in 1831. She brought a retinue<br />
of 100 gentlemen, ladies and servants and among the guests at a reception she gave<br />
was the Sidmouth artist and historian, Peter Orlando Hutchinson (POH), whose diaries<br />
and sketches are a vivid picture of 19th century life in Sidmouth. Copies are among the<br />
treasu<strong>res</strong> at the Museum next to the ancient parish church of St. Giles and St. Nicholas.<br />
Look out for POH <strong>lo</strong>gos throughout the town.<br />
Toll House<br />

East Devon &<br />
Dorset Coast,<br />
World Heritage Site<br />
The striking red cliffs around Sidmouth were formed in<br />
a baking desert some 240 million years ago during the<br />
Triassic period of geo<strong>lo</strong>gical time. Huge rivers f<strong>lo</strong>wed<br />
across a desert, rather like the Nile f<strong>lo</strong>wing through the<br />
Sahara today. But this all happened a very <strong>lo</strong>ng time<br />
ago so how can you exp<strong>lo</strong>re the World Heritage Site<br />
today?<br />
Your first port of call could be the excellent Jurassic<br />
Coast Interpretation Centre on the Esplanade.<br />
Sidmouth Museum contains information and holds<br />
events exp<strong>lo</strong>ring the World Heritage Site.<br />
6<br />
Why not take a walk a<strong>lo</strong>ng the coast path to Branscombe<br />
and Beer? Here, younger rocks, the upper greensands<br />
and chalk cap the cliffs and the combination has given<br />
rise to the spectacular Hooken Landslide. These younger<br />
rocks are the source of fine building stones that have<br />
been used in the construction of Exeter Cathedral.
7
Quality & Variety of Shops<br />
Pride in traditional service and courtesy is reflected in a<br />
remarkable variety of shops.<br />
“Why go elsewhere when everything is here...” is a<br />
comment often heard in many a household in the town.<br />
Big sto<strong>res</strong> and speciality shops, gift shops and d<strong>res</strong>s<br />
shops, ladies boutiques and gentlemen’s outfitters, dairy<br />
shops and market stalls, all create a friendly welcome that<br />
makes shopping in Sidmouth so leisurely and enjoyable.<br />
8
The way shopping<br />
used to be<br />
They make a fascinating and delightful mix which,<br />
like the elegant seafront frontages, is central<br />
to Sidmouth’s unspoilt character, not least in<br />
summer when a riot of f<strong>lo</strong>ral co<strong>lo</strong>ur hangs and<br />
trails from every ledge and vantage point.<br />
“Sidmouth is a beautiful and relaxing town with a<br />
wide variety of <strong>lo</strong>vely shops and places to eat, all<br />
offering excellent, friendly service.”<br />
Sidmouth Chamber of Commerce<br />

Sidbury Fair - History<br />
September 13th – September 17th <strong>2017</strong><br />
Sidbury was granted a charter for a Fair in 1291 by Edward 1 when he was up in<br />
Berwick upon Tweed. The fair was to be held for three days to cover the feast of<br />
the Virgin Mary in September. Hot pennies are still thrown into the street for the<br />
children to collect - a boon for the equally impoverished villagers of the time, and<br />
still continues today.<br />
Sidbury Fair has grown over the years with <strong>lo</strong>cal produce and craft stalls, competitions<br />
etc and a livestock auction still takes place. Over the years the fair has extended to<br />
a whole week of events and gives <strong>lo</strong>cal clubs and organisations an opportunity to<br />
raise funds. The fair Committee is made up of <strong>lo</strong>cal <strong>res</strong>idents and is chaired by Sir<br />
John Cave of Sidbury Manor.<br />

Sixth Sidmouth<br />
Science Festival 7th<br />
to 15th October <strong>2017</strong><br />
Sidmouth Science Festival <strong>2017</strong><br />
The sixth Sidmouth Science Festival runs from Friday<br />
6th to Sunday 15th October <strong>2017</strong> with the theme of<br />
“Science in our Lives”.<br />
The events during the week will cater for all ages<br />
and abilities with projects and demonstrations taking<br />
place in schools and colleges, and a number of talks<br />
throughout the town. Serious science talks and fun<br />
hands-on events take place in town on Saturday 14th<br />
and at a family day on Sunday 15th at the Norman<br />
Lockyer Observatory.<br />
28<br />
Ada Lovelace Day on Tuesday 10th October, an<br />
international celebration of the achievements of<br />
women in science, will be hosted by the University of<br />
Exeter.
Various community groups will contribute events during the<br />
week, too.<br />
In 2016 guest speakers included Simon Singh MBE and Prof<br />
Mike Benton FRS. There was also a dedicated Earth Science<br />
hall, 3D film and a very large dinosaur! The Family Fun Day<br />
included a model jet car race as well as many other activities<br />
for young people. The interactive science trail a<strong>lo</strong>ng the<br />
seafront proved very popular with families, too.<br />
So there is something for everyone!<br />
Throughout the year the Science Festival runs a Cafe<br />
Scientifique which meets once a month, except in August, to<br />
listen to a science speaker and discuss the topic.<br />

SIDMOUTH CIVIC ARBORETUM is a new interpretation of an Arboretum – which is a<br />
collection of trees and shrubs. Our Arboretum covers the entire Sid Valley, not just one site.<br />
We encourage new planting, and give advice and support for maintenance so that the plants<br />
f<strong>lo</strong>urish.<br />
Our TREE TRAIL LEAFLETS prove popular as they encourage visitors and <strong>res</strong>idents alike to<br />
exp<strong>lo</strong>re the rich heritage which is Sidmouth’s treescape, and to value its contribution to<br />
p<strong>res</strong>ent and future generations. Pick up a leaflet at the Tourist Information Centre, hotels,<br />
or <strong>lo</strong>cal shops.<br />
Our TREE TALKS AND WALKS bring together a wide range of inte<strong>res</strong>ts – birds, bats, health<br />
and well-being, as well as climate change, pests and diseases that threaten trees. They guide<br />
us to the best of spring b<strong>lo</strong>ssom and autumn leaf co<strong>lo</strong>ur up and down the valley.<br />

Pictu<strong>res</strong>que<br />
villages
Salcombe Regis, Sidbury and Sidford<br />
There is no finer English village setting than at Salcombe Regis. Unspoilt and secluded,<br />
in May it comes alive with the annual Country Fair.<br />
It is also the home of the famous Donkey Sanctuary.<br />
Sidbury, with its <strong>lo</strong>vely cottage frontages and<br />
gardens, is another haven of tranquil village<br />
charm. No wonder it has won the Best Kept Village<br />
competition so many times.<br />
Sidford is named after the ford that used to cross<br />
the River Sid - where now you find the Packhorse<br />
Bridge.<br />

A pleasure to visit at any time of year<br />
© Simon Horn lrps<br />
Even in the winter months, there is often a<br />
balmy day to relax in the sun. Many of our<br />
hotels remain open throughout the year.<br />
Sidmouth, indeed, brings its own special<br />
festive joy for those who spend Christmas<br />
here. What better way of walking off the<br />
excesses of the season than a stroll across<br />
Jacob’s Ladder beach. In the Byes you<br />
might even spot the first green shoot of<br />
an early Spring.<br />
38
Days out <strong>lo</strong>cally and further afield<br />
From Sidmouth you can visit many inte<strong>res</strong>ting places without travelling far. Buses<br />
run regularly into the City of Exeter where a visit to the Cathedral can offer both<br />
tranquillity and architectural delight. The City’s excellent shopping centre provides<br />
retail therapy to suit every taste.<br />
A car drive across the stunning scenery of Dartmoor is a must for anyone visiting<br />
Devon.<br />
There are places even c<strong>lo</strong>ser to exp<strong>lo</strong>re; Budleigh Salterton, Honiton, Ottery St. Mary<br />
and the beautiful Axe Valley are all c<strong>lo</strong>se by, as are many and varied pictu<strong>res</strong>que<br />
villages just waiting to be found.<br />

SIDMOUTH IS NOW A FAIRTRADE TOWN<br />
In August 2016, Sidmouth was awarded Fairtrade status for its commitment to Fairtrade principles, thanks to the efforts of <strong>lo</strong>cal<br />
campaigners.<br />
Fairtrade helps small-scale farmers ensure they earn stable incomes and have <strong>lo</strong>ng-term contracts with companies. In addition,<br />
they earn the Fairtrade Premium, which they invest as the farmer-owned co-operative democratically chooses, in projects that will<br />
benefit their business or community.<br />
Over 4,500 products are now licensed to carry the FAIRTRADE Mark, from food and drink through c<strong>lo</strong>thing and homewa<strong>res</strong> to<br />
f<strong>lo</strong>wers, sports balls and jewellery.<br />

Quality has never meant so much<br />
All the accommodation featured in this<br />
guide has been quality assessed by either<br />
VisitBritain* or the AA, or has recently<br />
applied for a rating and is awaiting<br />
assessment. Please be aware that ratings<br />
may change throughout the year.<br />
To confirm a rating please visit<br />
www.enjoyEngland.com or telephone<br />
VisitBritain on 0208 563 3309 or email:<br />
feedback@visitbritain.org<br />
For AA ratings, visit www.theAA.com<br />
or telephone: 01256 844455 or email:<br />
customer.services@theAA.com<br />
All the national assessing bodies (Visit<br />
Britain*, Visit Scotland, Visit Wales and<br />
the AA) now assess hotels and guest<br />
accommodation (including B&Bs) to the<br />
same criteria and award one to five stars.<br />
The star ratings reflect the overall quality of<br />
the experience.<br />
When choosing your accommodation<br />
<strong>lo</strong>ok for the Quality Rose, the official<br />
marque of the Enjoy England national<br />
tourist board rating scheme.<br />
The Enjoy England professional assessors<br />
visit every year, carrying out a routine<br />
day visit or an overnight stay in the case<br />
of serviced accommodation. On these<br />
occasions, they book in as you would, as a<br />
76<br />
normal guest and test all the facilities and<br />
services. A quality score is awarded for<br />
every aspect of the experience including<br />
the comfort of the bed, the quality of the<br />
breakfast and dinner and, most importantly,<br />
the cleanliness. They also score the warmth<br />
of welcome.<br />
Places that ‘go the extra mile’ to make<br />
your stay a special one, will be awarded<br />
a high star rating and hotels and guest<br />
accommodation may achieve a Gold or<br />
Silver award.<br />
For self-catering<br />
accommodation, the<br />
layout and design of the<br />
accommodation and the range<br />
and quality of the kitchen<br />
equipment is assessed,<br />
as well as the quality and comfort of<br />
the bedrooms and bathrooms and most<br />
importantly, the cleanliness.<br />
Higher star-rated accommodation tends<br />
to have more spacious bedrooms and<br />
bathrooms, and in hotels a higher staff<br />
to guest ratio, so service should be very<br />
attentive. At five star, you can really expect<br />
to be pampered in luxurious surroundings!<br />
For serviced accommodation, there are<br />
two separate schemes – one for hotels<br />
and one for guest accommodation.<br />
Hotels have to be licensed, offer dinner at<br />
least 5 nights a week (unless categorised as<br />
a Metro Hotel) and have all rooms en suite<br />
or with private bathrooms.<br />
The different hotel categories<br />
are: Hotel, Small Hotel,<br />
Country House Hotel, Metro<br />
Hotel Town House Hotel and<br />
Budget Hotel.<br />
Guest accommodation<br />
categories are: Guest<br />
Accommodation, Bed and<br />
Breakfasts, Guest Houses,<br />
Inns, Farmhouses and<br />
Restaurants with Rooms.<br />
They tend to be personally run by the<br />
owners.<br />
Guest Accommodation –<br />
Diamonds and Stars<br />
The diamond ratings that were previously<br />
awarded to guest accommodation (B&Bs,<br />
Guest Houses etc) are gradually being<br />
replaced by stars. You will find some entries<br />
in this guide with diamond ratings and some<br />
with star ratings. The new star ratings are<br />
designed to meet the greater expectations<br />
of consumers with regards to quality and<br />
facilities. Higher ratings are therefore more<br />
difficult to achieve than under the previous<br />
scheme.
For further information visit www.enjoyEngland.com<br />
In this guide you may find, for example<br />
guest accommodation that previously held a<br />
4 diamond rating and has been re-assessed<br />
under the new standards as 3 stars. It does<br />
not necessarily mean that their quality<br />
standards have dropped.<br />
Gold and<br />
Silver awards<br />
for Hotels<br />
and Guest<br />
Accommodation<br />
Silver Awards<br />
recognise exceptional quality at all levels<br />
and Gold Awards are given to the very ‘best<br />
of the best’.<br />
Holiday, touring, and<br />
camping parks and holiday<br />
villages:<br />
Enjoy England awards star<br />
ratings reflecting the overall<br />
quality of the park from one to five stars<br />
- five stars being <strong>res</strong>erved for parks of<br />
exceptional quality.<br />
100% Quality Assessed<br />
with VisitEngland means<br />
that the star ratings provided<br />
to the accommodation, are<br />
independently assessed every<br />
year to National Quality<br />
Standards.<br />
Enjoy England ratings made easy:<br />
* Simple, practical, no frills<br />
** Well p<strong>res</strong>ented and well run<br />
*** Good level of quality and comfort<br />
**** Excellent standard throughout<br />
***** Exceptional with a degree of luxury<br />
If you choose to stay in any of Enjoy<br />
England’s quality-assessed accommodation,<br />
you can be confident that it has been<br />
checked out before you check in. For more<br />
information on the Enjoy England Quality<br />
Rose assessment schemes and the star<br />
ratings, go to www.enjoyEngland.com<br />
Sponsored by Kel<strong>lo</strong>gg’s, this award<br />
recognises those hotels and B&Bs<br />
that offer their guests a quality and<br />
choice of breakfast, service and<br />
hospitality that exceeds what would<br />
be expected at their star rating. It<br />
will help visitors find those places<br />
where the owners, managers, chefs and staff<br />
have gone the extra mile to ensure the breakfast<br />
will exceed expectations.<br />
The Jurassic Coast Quality Business<br />
Scheme aims to help meet the<br />
expectations associated with World<br />
Heritage status for a quality-led<br />
sustainable tourism experience.<br />
Successful businesses have to<br />
demonstrate a range of good practices and a<br />
commitment to raising standards of customer care.<br />
*VisitBritain is the national tourism agency,<br />
marketing Britain worldwide and England<br />
in Britain, France, Germany, Ireland and the<br />
Netherlands. Quality is a major element of<br />
VisitBritain’s strategy to improve tourism<br />
products and services and the standard<br />
of welcome visitors receive. VisitBritain<br />
assesses more than 23,000 accommodation<br />
businesses across nine different Enjoy<br />
England schemes. These assessments<br />
are undertaken by Quality in Tourism on<br />

SIDMOUTH IS NOW A FAIRTRADE TOWN<br />
In August 2016, Sidmouth was awarded Fairtrade status for its commitment to Fairtrade principles, thanks to the efforts of <strong>lo</strong>cal<br />
campaigners.<br />
Fairtrade helps small-scale farmers ensure they earn stable incomes and have <strong>lo</strong>ng-term contracts with companies. In addition,<br />
they earn the Fairtrade Premium, which they invest as the farmer-owned co-operative democratically chooses, in projects that<br />
will benefit their business or community.<br />
Over 4,500 products are now licensed to carry the FAIRTRADE Mark, from food and drink through c<strong>lo</strong>thing and homewa<strong>res</strong> to<br />
f<strong>lo</strong>wers, sports balls and jewellery.<br />
For more information on the Sidmouth campaign, contact Wendy on 01395 512739 or email wendyspratling@gmail.com<br />
