The interpretation features large images and key information to guide the visitor to explore Sidmouth and its environs. With a map of the area, walk routes, short films, the Jurassic Coast interactive, Jurassic flip books and secret peepholes to find there is plenty to discover and if the weather is inclement then rest your legs on the artist designed seat inspired by the coast.
