Ilfracombe Harbour

Cream of North Devon

Picturesque North Devon has some of the most beautiful coastline in the British Isles, studded with tiny harbour-towns, quaint villages, lovely beaches and tranquil gardens. Discover the rugged coastline which affords dramatic seascapes and take in the charming traditional way of life.

 

Explore Clovelly village, a picturesque, historic, fishing village situated on the north Devon coast that time seems to have forgotten with its traditional 16th century whitewashed cottages, tiny harbour and cobbled streets.

 

You will also enjoy a visit to RHS Garden Rosemoor, an enchanting garden nestled in the beautiful Torridge Valley. Surrounded by woodland, the garden is rich in variety throughout every season and features inspiring planting displays enhanced by the natural beauty of Devon.

 

We will also spend time in Dunster, an old medieval village, which retains much of its original character and is dominated by its romantic Norman castle plus visit the charming twin resorts of Lynton and Lynmouth, spectacularly situated on the northern edge of the Exmoor National Park and linked by a cliff railway.
