All about North Devon
A region within the county of Devon, North Devon boasts an invigorating mix of dramatic seascapes, open moorlands, dense woodlands, and picturesque villages. North Devon is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is known as England’s Adventure Coast, with surfers heading to the beaches at Croyde and Saunton Sands. People flock to the coastline to experience the region’s inviting beaches, including Westward Ho! and Ilfracombe, while fishing villages like Appledore and Clovelly are a reminder of the area’s important maritime heritage. Boats set sail from Ilfracombe and Bideford to Lundy Island, the first Maritime Conservation Zone in England, home to puffins, sea birds, and seals.
North Devon contains part of Exmoor National Park, which heads inland from the coast to encompass extensive moorland, farmland, and woodland. There are many trails to be explored in this region for walkers and cyclists. Highlights include the South West Coast Path, which winds its way around the coastline, and the 290-kilometre Tarka Trail, which starts in Barnstaple before heading through inland market towns like Okehampton and Chulmleigh and crossing Exmoor to the coast.
What are the top things to do in North Devon?

Starting in the coastal town of Lynmouth, a short waymarked trail with views across the bay leads to one of the most awe-inspiring geological formations in North Devon: the cliffs of the Valley of the Rocks. They are known for their impressive jagged rocky outcrops, including Castle Rock. While there, you can look out for the daredevil wild goats that have made these steep rocks their home.
