A is for AWESOME! Well no, actually, in our A-Z of North Devon it’s not – but maybe it should be?! After all, North Devon is the place to be in all seasons.
We’re so lucky in our beautiful area to be blessed with exemplary eateries, views to-die-for and much, much more… that’s why we’ve decided to try and spell it all out in our very own alphabet!
So read on, and learn some more about why the North Devon language is the only one you should be speaking this year…
We have a sculpture garden, a gluttony of art galleries, theatres and so much more.
What else could it be?
A visit to North Devon wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the unique village.
There are attractions for every age around every corner.
Street food, Michelin-starred restaurants, tea rooms – we have you covered.
A North Devon excursion deserves a chip supper by the sea.
Just like this one, looking down on Watermouth Cove.
Perfect all-year-round, we’re ideal for all ages and creeds.
We have the famous Hocking’s of Appledore, Tennacott Farm Dairy of Bideford, Verney’s Molton Ice and so much more! Sample as much as you can – just not all at once!
The gorgeous island is a must-see for tourists and locals alike.
Adventure parks, soft play areas, trampoline parks – just not straight after the ice cream!
Prepare to have your breath taken away at this beauty spot on the north coast.
It’s celebrating its 50th birthday this year!
Seals, puffins (pictured), dolphins, birds of prey… it’s a nature-lovers dream down here.
Even without surfing, there is so much to do. Think paddleboarding, coasteering, kayaking… the list goes on.
The South West Coast Path, the Tarka Trail (more on that later), and so many more walkways to stretch your legs.
The Barnstaple theatre and the Plough Arts Theatre in Torrington are two of many fantastic places to see live shows and music.
We have a Cliff Railway, a Steam line, AND the Tarka Line, which connects Barnstaple and Exeter.
There are so many fantastic spots to catch waves.
Miles upon miles of cycle and walking route – perfect for keen ramblers and toddlers alike.
The North Devon Biosphere Reserve is one of 621 Biosphere Reserves around the world, of which just six are located in the UK.
The wonderful statue, created by Damien Hirst who has a house in North Devon, stands proud on Ilfracombe harbour.
One of the many fantastic beaches in our area, Woolacombe was, until recently, TripAdvisor’s top-rated UK Beach.
You can’t say we’re cheating with this one. Just take a look at the area, and you’ll forgive us.
Because, well, you just have to – look at that view!
And we’re lucky to have a few, including Exmoor Zoo, Combe Martin Wildlife Park and Ilfracombe Aquarium.
We hope you enjoyed our A-Z, but if you have any suggestions then please do hit us up on social media; you can find us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram!
