Harbours, Hills & Honey - Discovering North Devon
Join us for a delightful escape to the rugged beauty and charming towns of North Devon. Our base for the tour is Barnstaple, a bustling market town rich in history and Georgian character. From sweeping coastal views and quaint harbours to colourful gardens and sweet treats, this journey blends relaxation, discovery, and the very best of the West Country.
Holiday Highlights
Our holiday begins as we leave home on Sunday morning and take a leisurely drive to north Devon. Our days out begin with the picture-perfect resort of Lynmouth, where narrow streets meet the sea. Here, you might choose to ride the famous cliff railway up to its twin village, Lynton. Our route then winds through the dramatic scenery of ‘Little Switzerland’ to Dunster, famed for its medieval castle and octagonal Yarn Market, before continuing to the seaside charm of Minehead. On Tuesday, Barnstaple comes alive for market day, giving you a chance to browse stalls, admire elegant Georgian architecture, and soak up the atmosphere. In the afternoon, we visit the historic seaport of Bideford, set beside the tranquil River Torridge. Midweek, we explore Ilfracombe, the ‘jewel of the North Devon Coast’. Its harbour and quayside are a delight to wander, with whitewashed villas, sandy beaches, and plenty of cafés and shops to enjoy. Thursday brings two real treats. At Quince Honey Farm, you can watch a live beekeeping demonstration, tour the honey factory, and stroll through the Nectar Garden. In the afternoon, we head to the award-winning RHS Rosemoor, where formal plantings meet vibrant borders in a stunning valley setting.
