If you're in search of a truly captivating and untamed coastal and countryside setting, North Devon is your destination. Its untamed, rugged, and breathtaking coastline makes it a must-see for those in pursuit of a serene and thrilling vacation. And what better way to savour your stay than by reserving one of the numerous holiday homes in North Devon? These accommodations are strategically placed, granting you effortless access to all the top-notch attractions in the area.

 

Barnstaple, a town steeped in history and culture, is a top draw in North Devon. This vibrant market town, nestled on the estuary of the River Taw, boasts a historic centre teeming with independent shops, tea rooms, and a delightful museum. Here, you'll also encounter several landmarks, including the Long Bridge - a 13th-century marvel that spans the Taw. And be sure not to overlook the Pannier Market and Butchers Row, where you can procure fresh, local produce and unique souvenirs.

Planning a cycling holiday? The Tarka Trail is a cycling paradise in North Devon. This trail, stretching over 30 miles along the north and south banks of the Taw, was once a railway track. It offers panoramic views of the estuaries of the Taw and Torridge. And if you're seeking a more leisurely experience, there are numerous charming holiday cottages in the peaceful, leafy villages that encircle Barnstaple.

Of course, a trip to North Devon would only be complete with a visit to its world-class beaches. Croyde, Saunton Sands, and Woolacombe are all easily accessible from Barnstaple. Saunton is the closest, with miles of uninterrupted sand and brilliant waves for surfing. And if you're looking for a more secluded spot, consider Woolacombe Cottages. Here, you can fall asleep to the sound of the sea and spend your days walking the length of the multi-award-winning, 3-mile stretch of golden sand to Putsborough and back.

But North Devon is much more than just beaches. Nearby, Ilfracombe is a welcoming resort boasting grand Victorian architecture and a working harbour. For those who love a good hike, Exmoor National Park is a paradise for horse riding, wildlife-watching, and walking. Here, you can explore windswept moorland and take in breathtaking views of the Bristol Channel.

If you're looking for a slower, rural pace of life, North Devon's inland areas won't disappoint. Discover picturesque Winkleigh and Great Torrington, where you can still find tranquil countryside and a scattering of villages and market towns. For the kids, there are plenty of fun-filled days out to be had at The Big Sheep in Abbotsham and The Milky Way near Clovelly.

With so much to see and do, North Devon is a destination you'll want to revisit time and time again.
