Breathtaking North Devon welcomes you
From hidden coves and secret beaches to bustling towns and busy villages, North Devon is a perfect blend of relaxation and action.
The rolling green countryside provides the perfect backdrop for you to start an adventure, or to be admired by those with less intrepid appetites. Discover ancient woodlands and vast moors. Take to the beaches to feel the soft, golden sands between your toes, hide out in the dunes and splash through the breaking waves of the Atlantic ocean.
This Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, including the Braunton Burrows Site of Scientific Interest, is home to a hugely diverse variety of animal and plant species, making it a truly unique and fascinating location.
Tranquil shores and peaceful valleys
This beautiful slice of Devon has, in our opinion, some of the most beautiful vistas to be seen. Gaze across the Bristol Channel from the Exmoor coastline in the north to see the very tip of South Wales.
Visit the beaches at Saunton, Croyde, or Woolacombe and turn your attention west to see the distant and remote Lundy Island emerging from the sea mist.
Inland, North Devon claims a number of beautiful wooded valleys, many of them lined with ancient oak trees, before opening up to reveal sheltered, hidden coves.
Ancient headlands and rolling hills
The shores of North Devon have played host to dramatic weather and seas over the millennia, helping to create the beautiful yet rugged landscape.
Imposing headlands, such as the magnificent Morte Point, rise up from the sea, webbed together by the popular beaches and coves the area is known for.
The panoramic views from rocky cliffs, like the ones at Baggy Point, give way to the smooth and rolling countryside beyond.
Rivers twist and wind their way through the valleys, flowing over ancient rock formations and boulders like the ones seen in Lynmouth or Westward Ho!, on their journey to the ocean.
