Sidmouth Removals
Sidmouth is a popular holiday town located on the famous Jurassic Coast and nestled in the picturesque Sid Valley of East Devon. However, Sidmouth isn’t just a great destination for a British seaside holiday. An unspoilt area, the town is well served by a multitude of amenities, including the usual town centre, supermarkets, and leisure centre, but also a cinema, hospital, golf course, and beachfront promenade. Sidmouth is particularly popular with families and is famed for the Victorian character it has retained from the past.
The Britannia Lanes of Devon office is ideally located just 35 minutes from Sidmouth, in Exeter. We can help with all aspects of moving house, as well as providing a variety of storage requirements to suit your needs.

Beaches in Sidmouth
Sidmouth is blessed with two stunning beaches; Sidmouth and Jacobs Ladder. Sidmouth is a pebble beach popular with water sports fans, as well as families. The beach has a café, toilets, and a shop. Dog walkers also favour this beach as the east end is dog friendly all year around.
Jacobs Ladder is the far western end of Sidmouth beach and is sandy. Young children love Jacobs Ladder for this reason, and the vast amount of rock pools at low tide to explore.
If you fancy a jaunt just outside of Sidmouth, Ladram Bay is a popular pebble beach, as is the remote Weston Mouth beach.
