Locality (close to: Ilfracombe)
Ilfracombe and the rugged coast of North Devon with over 850 square miles of Britain’s finest coast and countryside has something to offer everyone. The town itself has an impressive selection and variety of pubs, restaurants and shops.
The surrounding countryside is spectacular with sea views, ideal for walking holidays and scenic drives. Walk along the coastal path through the superb scenery to Fuscia Valley and Lee Bay.
Travelling eastwards will take you to Hele Bay, the beauties of Hunters Inn and Heddons Mouth, The Valley of the Rocks and the twin towns of Lynton and Lynmouth.
A short drive will take you to the golden sands of Woolacombe and Saunton stretching for over 5 miles and which are some of the finest and cleanest beaches in Europe.
Activities and attractions abound. Dartmoor and Exmoor National Parks are nearby. Explore the antiques shops of South Molton or take a day out to the Pannier Market in nearby Barnstaple.
There are opportunities for horse riding on the moors or the beaches.
Golfers of all standards are catered for with crazy golf on the sea-front, pitch and putt course on Hillsborough or the taxing links course of Ilfracombe which welcomes visiting golfers, as well as the championship course at Saunton.
Traffic-free cycling starts nearby on the famous Tarka Trail and cycle hire is available.
Ships and boats working out of the harbour will take you fishing or sightseeing, or perhaps on a day trip to Lundy or to Swansea.

The town has been a popular family resort since Victorian times and in the summer holiday weeks bursts into activity. Most of the year, however, the harbour has a village atmosphere with a tranquility that reflects the relaxed Devon pace of life.
