North Devon - Overview

North Devon and Exmoor is an area of stunning natural beauty with a wide variety of landscapes: spectacular cliffs, golden beaches and wild moors. There is over 170 square kilometres of Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Status, but there is much more to this region than its unspoilt countryside.

The area is popular as a family holiday destination and as such there are many attractions including animal parks, theme parks and fabulous sandy beaches. For the adults there are golf courses, historic houses and gardens open to the public. The people are notoriously laid-back and this easy rubs of on visitors, meaning you feel relaxed and recharged even after just a short break. Choose from over 180 self-catering properties across North Devon catering for couples, families and large groups.

Some of the most popular destiantions in the region include Barnstaple which has a wonderful mixture of Victorian, Medieval and Georgian architecture. Clovelly is a charming village on a 400 foot cliff with steep cobbled streets where donkeys once provided the only transport. Croyde is a pretty coastal resort with chocolate-box thatched cottages and is particularly popular with surfers. The twin towns of Lynton and Lynmouth are joined by a victorian cliffrailway and are situated where two rivers meet, which resulted in a disastorous flood in 1952. Known as “The Little Switzerland of England” is a beautiful and fascinating area.
