SUMMARY

From Salcombe Hill, high above Sidmouth, you drop through woodland to the path running along beside the River Sid to the seafront, where a shingle ridge provides a buffer zone between the sea and the town. The Alma Bridge, with its nineteenth century origins, leads to the cliff-path zigzagging up the hill, above the towering red cliffs, to bring you up to a viewpoint with breathtaking views out over Lyme Bay and the famous cliffs of the Jurassic Coast.

This is a dog friendly walk with a shingle beach, woodland and open fields. 

 

PUBLIC TRANSPORT

There are frequent buses to Sidmouth from Exeter, Exmouth and Honiton. Including a FREE HOPPER BUS (Summer Only) that runs from the Donkey sanctuary through the town and on to Mutters Moor and back. This is a hail and ride service and will stop at the NT Car park or any where that is safe to do so en-route.
