Finding Ham West Car Park Sidmouth
This car park is in the cluster of short stay car parks in the centre of Sidmouth. If you don't know the town then the easiest way to find it is to come in on the main road from the traffic lights at Sidford and at the mini roundabout at the top of the high street turn right. At the next mini roundabout turn left and then keep straight on to the seafront and once at the front turn left.
Passing along the Esplanade towards the end by the lifeboat station you will see a sign showing the road beyond it is a dead end. Here you will see a turning to the left called York Street. Turn down York Street and this, and the other large car park in this area on the opposite side of the road, will come in to view.
If you know your way around Sidmouth you will know there are other ways to access this car park but the way outlined above avoids the narrow high street, the even narrower turnings off it and the large river ford, where the latter is often impassable after rain.
