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. Our base for this holiday is the ancient market town of Barnstaple, reputed to be one of the oldest boroughs in the United Kingdom, set on the banks of the River Taw.
Situated within walking distance of Barnstaple town centre, the stylish Park hotel has recently undergone a major refurbishment and now offers modern facilities with a cosmopolitan feel. All bedrooms are equipped with television, telephone, Wi-Fi, safe, hairdryer and tea / coffee making facilities. The hotel also features a brasserie restaurant and bar area. Lift to all floors.

We travel south to Devon and the Park Hotel in the town of Barnstaple where we stay for the next four nights
Day Two
This morning we visit the picturesque towns of Lynton and Lynmouth where you can take a ride on the water-powered lift that travels between the two historic towns, ascending from Lynmouth at the foot of the cliffs to Lynton perched some 500 feet above. From here we travel across the Exmoor National Park and visit the lovely village of Dunster with its castle and 17th century timber-framed market hall.
B, DDay Three
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).
B, DDay Four
Enjoy a visit to the popular seaside resort of Ilfracombe where attractions include a historic harbour and seafront plus an award-winning aquarium and museum and a fascinating unique network of tunnels hand-carved in the nineteenth century that lead through to a selection of beaches. This afternoon enjoy an included afternoon tea at the Saunton Sands, a fabulous four star art deco hotel in a stunning location, overlooking miles of pristine sands stretching as far as the eye can see.
Day Five
After breakfast we check-out and start our journey home.
