Highlights of North Devon
North Devon boasts some of the most stunning coastlines in the British Isles, dotted with charming harbour towns, quaint villages, scenic beaches and peaceful gardens. Explore dramatic seascapes along the rugged coastline and experience the timeless appeal of traditional Devon life.
Step back in time with a visit to Clovelly, a beautifully preserved fishing village clinging to the cliffs of North Devon. Famous for its cobbled streets, 16th-century whitewashed cottages and tiny harbour, Clovelly offers a glimpse into a bygone era. In contrast, we travel to the lively market town of Bideford with its vibrant atmosphere and bustling shopping centre, thriving Pannier Market and harbour.
Discover the twin resorts of Lynton and Lynmouth, perched on the northern edge of Exmoor National Park and connected by a unique cliff railway. These neighbouring villages combine dramatic natural beauty with timeless charm. Other highlights include a visit to the elegant seaside town of Ilfracombe, often described as the jewel of the North Devon coast with its historic harbour, striking coastal scenery and grand Victorian architecture, plus we visit the Valley of Rocks, a fascinating U-shaped dry valley well known for its unusual rock formations and caves.
