There are plenty of interesting places to visit in the region, with the pretty village of Clovelly a particular highlight. Further north, you will find Saunton Sands, Woolacombe, Croyde Sands and Ilfracombe, as well as the extensive countryside of the Exmoor National Park.North Devon packs in a whole lot, with plenty of places of interest dotted around the coast and countryside. Perfect for hiking, walking and wildlife-spotting, the Exmoor National Park is one of the UK’s most impressive areas. On the northern coast, you have the scenic Lynton and Lynmouth. One overlooks the other, with a spectacular Cliff Railway connecting the two.
This is just one of the area’s attractions, as you can also enjoy a ride on the steam trains of the Lynton & Barnstaple Railway. There are many excellent restaurants too, and great opportunities to try water sports such as surfing and kayaking. The stunning scenery makes it fine walking territory too.
Loved by Charles Kingsley, Charles Dickens and others, pretty Clovelly is a privately owned village on the coast which is open to visitors for a small admission fee. With a busy fishing harbour and cute cobbled streets, the village retains its traditional feel, and has a couple of museums and pubs to visit, along with the beautiful Clovelly Court Gardens and a visitor centre. Events such as the Seaweed Festival and Herring Festival take place throughout the year, and kids can even enjoy rides from the resident donkeys.
Some wonderful beaches line this stretch of coast, including the lovely Saunton Sands, just north of Westward Ho! Alongside it, you’ll find the sand dunes of Braunton Burrows, an atmospheric area with lots of wildlife to spot. From popular family beaches to secluded coves, you can find the place for you in North Devon. Try Ilfracombe’s Wild Pear Beach or the rocky Bucks Mill near Clovelly for peace and quiet, or Combe Martin for a large, sandy beach with good facilities nearby.
About 10 minutes’ drive from Westward Ho! you have the larger town of Bideford, which is a good place to visit for shopping, dining or checking out a few attractions. The Bideford Railway Heritage Centre and the Burton Art Gallery & Museum are both based here, and just outside the town there’s the popular adventure park, The BIG Sheep and, next door, the Ultimate Adventure Centre.

There are plenty of gardens to visit in North Devon, with those of Tapeley Park situated just a short drive from Bideford. Castle Hill Gardens near Barnstaple extend over 50 acres and are also well worth a look, as is the colourful RHS Rosemoor.
