The undulating countryside and charming settlements of Exmoor National Park are only ten minutes’ drive from Ilfracombe. With a variety of bars, shops, restaurants, and live music almost every night, Ilfracombe’s historic harbour and quay are stunning and foster a lively, welcoming atmosphere. From here, take a boat journey to magnificent Lundy Island, a destination of natural beauty that will give you a memorable experience, or go on a wildlife cruise, fishing expedition, or boat tour. Some of the best walking country in England is located around Ilfracombe. You will find the scenery to be breathtaking, whether you choose a leisurely stroll along the promenade around Capstone Hill, confronting the rocky seaside route, or prefer the river valleys and peace of the moorland hills of Exmoor. A handful of excellent restaurants with a focus on regional fish can be found in Ilfracombe. The distinctive towns of Lynton and Lynmouth, with their clifftop railway, are to the east of Ilfracombe, and Clovelly and Hartland are to the west. In addition, Woolacombe Bay, a 3 mile long, golden beach, is only a short drive away. It was named one of the best 20 beaches in the world, making it the ideal location for sunbathing and surfing. Ilfracombe is the ideal destination for a North Devon holiday because it provides access to a thrilling fusion of gorgeous coastal scenery, beach fun, rural tranquilly, and centuries of legacy and flair.
