Finding Manor Road Car Park
Approach Sidmouth from the A3052. If coming in from Exeter turn right opposite The Bowd Inn on to the B3176 and follow this road until you get to a roundabout where you should go straight over.
If coming in from Sidford follow the road to the top of the High Street and then, at the roundabout, turn right. After 500 yards at the next roundabout turn left.
After 200 yards, by the theatre, turn right up Manor Road, following it for around half a mile and the car park will be right at the end on the right.
Make sure you go in the entrance (second access point) and not the exit as there are "Alligator Teeth" in the exit to stop people going in that way!

more information
It can be incredibly busy in the summer.
Being one of only two long stay car parks in Sidmouth (the other being the dearer Bedford Lawn car park) anyone visiting for longer than four hours will probably first seek out a space here.
If you arrive and it is full your only option is to drive round and round looking for a space to be vacated or head in to town and look for a space there. To get to town and look for other options leave the car park and turn right, then at the end of the road turn left and drop down the hill to the Esplanade and the town centre car parks and stay for four hours maximum (unless you move car parks after 4 hours).

Some people staying for only a few hours will actually park here as the walk in to town along the seafront is very pretty.
Getting to Sidmouth town centre from here
You have two options. Exit the car park to Manor Road and turn right then left and walk down the gentle hill past the magnificent hotels and houses to the Esplanade or exit the car park at the steps at the bottom end of it and cross the road in to Connaught Gardens (a park).
If you elect to go via the park once there you head to your right and you will come to the steep ramp down to the beach or go more or less straight on and then turn right past the café to "Jacobs Ladder" (It is a flight of steps) and make your way down to the beach there.
Next to the café are some very old steps cut in to the walls which lead down to the front for those feeling very brave.
