Towns & Villages
TOWNS & VILLAGES
Appledore
9 miles away
A sleepy fishing village which hosts a Visual Arts festival in June and which houses the North Devon Maritime Museum. There’s crabbing off the quay for those with a line, a few slices of bacon and some patience…
TOWNS & VILLAGES
Clovelly
20 miles away
One of the most visited villages in North Devon. A traffic free village hanging on a 400ft cliff, cobbled streets and an ancient and beautiful harbour with working boats. Parking is located at the top of the hill so be prepared for a steep walk back, guests with buggies have struggled!
TOWNS & VILLAGES
Exeter
39 miles away
A day trip to the historic city of Exeter and its cathedral is worthwhile. As you would expect from the county town of Devon, Exeter has an extensive range of retail and leisure facilities. Trains run regularly from Barnstaple station to Exeter Central… it’s slow (1 hour) but the scenery is beautiful.
TOWNS & VILLAGES
Illfracombe
17 miles away
A busy holiday town with fishing boats and yachts moored in the harbour. The town houses the Landmark Theatre and many restaurants.
TOWNS & VILLAGES
Lynton & Lymouth
23 miles away
Two villages connected in 1890 by a unique water-powered cliff railway which you can still ride on. A pretty village resort made popular in Victorian times and from which a walk to the Valley of the Rocks is highly recommended.
TOWNS & VILLAGES
Bideford
10 miles away
Once one of the busiest ports in England, only a few fishing and cargo boats now operate from Bideford, but the 17th century houses and the recently widened Quay survive. It offers a lovely park with a variety of play areas and a small Lido in the summer months.
