On top of a cliff on Sidmouth's western edge are the Connaught Gardens with a tearoom and a white staircase to the beach, the Jacob's Ladder. It is a wonderful place to enjoy a coffee with carrot cake.

The best ice-cream in town, or possibly on the East Devon coast... Taste is a must-visit when you're passing through Sidmouth! You'll find it a short walk off the main promenade down the old high street, handily opposite the public loos which also have a water refill point.

Good luck choosing between all the flavours!
