Embark on the High Peak & Ladram Bay loop from Sidmouth, a moderate hike covering 5.6 miles (9.0 km) with an elevation gain of 1071 feet (326 metres). You can expect to complete this route in about 2 hours and 47 minutes. As you hike, you will experience dramatic coastal scenery and varied terrain, including the climb to High Peak, offering panoramic views along the Jurassic Coast.
Planning your visit is straightforward, with parking generally available in Sidmouth, which serves as a convenient starting point for this circular walk. Be aware that the path can be tricky in places after heavy rainfall due to loose earth and rubbly rocks, especially along the South West Coast Path and during the ascent to High Peak. Proper footwear is highly recommended for these sections.
A major highlight of this route is the awe-inspiring red sandstone sea stacks at Ladram Bay, formed from Triassic Otter Sandstone. From the summit of High Peak, you will enjoy expansive views looking east and west along the coast, as well as towards Sidmouth. This trail offers a unique perspective on the stunning East Devon National Landscape.
