North Devon

Explore picturesque North Devon, home to some of the most beautiful coastlines in Britain studded with tiny harbour-towns, quaint villages, excellent beaches and cliff-top walks.

Picturesque North Devon has some of the most beautiful coastline in the British Isles, studded with tiny harbour-towns, quaint villages, excellent beaches and cliff-top walks, all designated as “an area of outstanding natural beauty”. North Devon is also bordered by the Exmoor National Park, renowned for its striking countryside, coastal views and herds of wild deer.

We spend a morning exploring Barnstaple with its elegant Georgian buildings and historic pannier market. In the afternoon we visit the timeless traffic free village of Clovelly, built on a 400ft cliff with no access for modern transport. On arrival we see a film show of the history of the village at the visitor centre, then browse the shops and craft centre before strolling down the steep cobbled street with its flower-bedecked cottages and winding side-alleys to the ancient fishing harbour, visiting Kingsley Museum and Fisherman's Cottage along the way. (Please note if you do not wish to walk back up to the street a Land Rover service is available).

Day Four
