North Devon is an area of outstanding natural beauty, boasting spectacular scenery. There are also golf courses, stables / horse riding, go karting, quad biking, bike routes and a multitude of surfing venues (check out www.eyeball-surfcheck.co.uk and www.goodbeachguide.co.uk). Visit www.woolacombetourism.co.uk (office is in Woolacombe) for more ideas on what to do and www.bbc.co.uk/weather before you come!

From Mortehoe there is easy access to lots of places including :

Grunta Beach (immediately below the cottage) is a small secluded beach accessible by walking down through the field. It’s even better when the tide goes out as it exposes more of rock pools and beaches.

Woolacombe is a two and a quarter mile stretch of sand with seaside shops, cafes and restaurants and water sport activities including swimming and surfing. There are a number of restaurants in Woolacombe e.g. West Beach, The Electric, The Courtyard and some of the pubs / hotels have renovated their bars e.g. The Terrace, The Jube.

Putsborough is at the southerly end of Woolacombe beach, has a cafe and is more sheltered, so sometimes better surf.

Croyde is a wide, sheltered sandy beach with good rock pools at either end of the beach and the village is served by cafes, restaurants, pubs and shops. Thatched cottages give Croyde much of its old world charm. It is popular with swimmers, surfers and sunbathers.

Georgeham is just 2 miles inland, with a Post Office, stores and two pubs, the home of Henry Williamson, who arrived there in 1921, when he wrote Tarka the Otter.

Braunton is busy with plenty of surf shops, cafes and award winning fish and chips at Squires. Just outside Braunton is Saunton Sands which is another great beach.

Lee is a picturesque cove with rock pools and some sand revealed at low tide with rock pools as well as a good pub and tea rooms. It is a two hour cliff top walk from Mortehoe via Morte Point, Bull Point lighthouse and a ‘secret beach’...there is a short cut back across the fields taking about 40 minutes.

Ilfracombe as an eclectic mixture of shops and curios all around the harbour, including Damien Hurst’s restaurant – 11 The Quay. The harbour is a hive of activity with small fishing boats and cruises along the coastline and to Lundy, the town has good facilities including a cinema and Tescos.

Lundy is a unique island experience. The trip to Lundy is an adventure in itself, enjoy spectacular views of North Devon coast on the journey to the Island. Once on the Island wander and explore, see the birds and wildlife then relax in the Marisco Tavern for a well earned drink.
