Sidmouth, Devon! *FULL SCENIC TOUR OF THE TOWN, BEACH, & JACOB'S LADDER*

Описание: A visit to the pretty seaside town of Sidmouth, on a bright late summer's day!

Sidmouth is a town on the English Channel in Devon, South West England, 14 miles (23 km) southeast of Exeter. With a population of 13,258 in 2021, it is a tourist resort and a gateway to the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site.

Sidmouth lies at the mouth of the River Sid in a valley between Peak Hill to the west and Salcombe Hill to the east. It 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. The red-coloured rock of the Otter Sandstone in the cliffs to the west of the town indicates the arid conditions of the Triassic geological period.

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

Jacob's Ladder meanwhile, is a series of wooden steps leading up to Connaught Gardens from Jacob's Ladder Beach and its red cliffs at the western end of town.
