Highlights of the North Devon Coast

The South West Coast Path, stretching an impressive 600 miles, stands as Britain's longest and arguably most captivating long-distance route. Your journey along the North Devon coast offers a tantalizing glimpse of the wonders that this path beholds. Unlike the typical three months earmarked for the entire route, this section can be savored in just a week.

Nestled in the heart of your exploration is the charming historic town of Barnstaple, an idyllic base for our adventures. Over two days, walks will head westward, tracing the rugged path to Hartland Point, home to a solitary lighthouse. When the west wind dances with the waves against the cliffs, the spectacle is nothing short of awe-inspiring. Your journey will also lead to the impossibly picturesque fishing haven of Clovelly.

Turning northward, you'll traverse to Woolacombe Beach and ascend the cliffs of Ilfracombe. Along the way, tread over grassy knolls, stand at the precipice of sheer cliffs, pass by hidden coves, and arrive at sprawling sandy shores.

This curated holiday encompasses five full days of invigorating walks, complemented by a well-deserved mid-week respite to relish the local offerings. Nearby treasures include the RHS garden at Rosemoor in Bideford, and the enchanting Tapley Park and Gardens in Instow.

Your enriching week along the North Devon Coast will be etched in your memory, adorned with images of cliff paths unveiling dramatic headlands, sheltered beaches cradling golden sands, and quintessential seaside villages exuding timeless charm.
