Great Outdoor activities – Horse riding, Quad Bikes, Surfing, Mountain Biking, Hiking, Jet Skiing and of course sea fishing and fresh water fishing are just a few of the outdoor activities available in North Devon.
Space! – Even during the height of the tourist season, it is not difficult to find an isolated spot to picnic and Exmoor National Park is the perfect place to escape the hustle and bustle of life.
Absolutely stunning scenery – I have been lucky enough to travel to a lot countries and on a hot sunny day there are very few parts of the world that compare to the beauty of the North Devon Coast. From spectacular outcrops of rock jutting out into the sea to golden sandy beaches, North Devon is a photographer’s heaven and a truly inspiring place to recharge your batteries ready for the next onslaught of another busy stint in a big city.
Classic English villages & Towns, Huge array of buildings spanning hundreds of years gives this part of the UK a feel of what England would have been like in a time gone by.
Safe, Pet Friendly and Family Orientated – Bring the whole family, including the pet! North Devon loves animals and many places allow dogs. Lots of family activities to help strengthen those family bonds and a chance for mum and dad to kick back and relax, safe in the knowledge that their kids are playing near by.
Accommodation to suite all budgets – From camping, B&B’s to 5 star Luxury Hotels, North Devon has the lot!
