Activities, Adventures & Attractions
There’s so much to do in North Devon, and along the adventure coast. We’ve put together a small list of some of our favourite things, especially for you to enjoy while staying with us.
Head to the Beach
What is better than a beach holiday? We have glorious beaches right on our doorstep, including nearby Woolacombe, voted one of the best in the world (named by TripAdvisor). Enjoy long strolls along the hot sand, splashing in the waves, and building sandcastles.
There are miles and miles of clifftop walks along every inch of the coastline too.
The sunshine is above average in the Southwest, so don’t forget the suntan lotion. Sizzle on one of our beaches at your leisure.
North Devon Wake Park
If you fancy something a little more adventurous, then head across to visit the Wake and Aqua Park in Bideford. Something for all of the family, from absolute beginner to the experienced wake-surfer. You’ll get wet, definitely. You’ll have fun, guaranteed!
Open all year round, weather permitting.
Sea Safari
Get out and explore the amazing North Devon coastline from the water with Ifracombe Sea Safari. Wales, dolphins and porpoises have been spotted recently. Spot the seals basking on the rocks, explore smuggler caves and lighthouses. Why not visit Lundy island or choose a fishing trip.
There’s so much to do on the water.
Coasteering
An incredible adventure along the coastline. A mixture of scrambling, sea-level cliff jumping, wild swimming and hiking. The perfect all-round activity to get you heart racing. No previous experience required but you need to be a confident swimmer, ideal for people of all ages.
We have a number of local companies offering coasteering, we recommend Rock & Rapid or Coastal Adventures. They both offer range of other activities, such as paddle boarding, surfing, climbing, high ropes, abseiling, archery and even axe throwing!
Ultimate Adventure Centre
The name is pretty much on the tin. Head to the nearby Ultimate Adventure Centre and enjoy everything from mountain boarding to rifle shooting, zip wires to sup boarding, surfing to coasteering.
The ultimate assault course is something that has to be tried, and the high wires aren’t for the faint-hearted.
In North Devon
So what do we have on offer? Picture postcard villages, acres of woodlands, quaint harbours and the unbeatable beauty of Exmoor. We’re right between the awesome Atlantic Ocean and the spectacular moors, we know you’ll love it as much as we do.
Make sure you have a proper cream tea, we do offer a rather special one, please ask for more details – we also offer an Afternoon Tea menu. As long as you have yours the Devon way, cream on first!
What Else?
Other local attractions include The Big Sheep, The Milky Way Adventure Park, Exmoor Zoo, Quince Honey Farm, Wildlife & Dinosaur Park and Watermouth Castle, get out and explore! Maybe try Junglaroo if you have smaller kids.
Air Extreme is close by, a fantastic Trampoline Park in Barnstaple. Interconnected trampolines and adrenaline filled jump activities. Jump, flip and tumble before heading to the Hangout Cafe.
