Things to do
Make the most of your break in North Devon
Beaches, country walks, pubs, great restaurants, shops and theme parks – North Devon
has everything you need for a fantastic holiday.
Ilfracombe
Within short walking distance of our holiday home are dozens of great pubs and
restaurants – particular guest favourites are Damien Hirst’s 11 The Quay, Clarets, and
the award-winning Ilfracombe Tandoori.
From our picturesque harbour (less than 10 minutes on foot) you can embark on a deep
sea fishing trip, sightseeing cruise or day trip to Lundy Island.
Coastal walks
A quick stroll up Torrs Park and you’re on the spectacular South West Coastal Path. Lee,
Mortehoe and Woolacombe are all a pleasant walk west along the cliff tops. If you’re
feeling adventurous, head east for a day’s walk along the Coastal Path towards Lynton
and Lynmouth. You can also take part in the North Devon Walking Festival

Exmoor
The spectacular scenery of Exmoor, one of the top Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the British Isles, with its
walks, picnic areas and country pubs is just a 20 minute drive.
Shopping
Barnstaple, North Devon's largest town, is a short drive or bus ride from Ilfracombe. And – from Spring 2010 –
you’ll be able to catch a 50 minute ferry from Ilfracombe harbour to Swansea Severn Ferry for a day’s shopping
and sight-seeing.
Beaches
The golden, sandy beaches of Woolacombe, Croyde and Saunton Sands are all close by. These are among the top
surfing beaches in the world, and are also safe for family bathing. And right next door to Westaway Villa are the
award-winning Tunnels Beaches – a popular licensed wedding venue. Tunnels Beaches
