EXPLORE NORTH DEVON BY ROAD

If you feel like getting out and exploring a bit further afield, North Devon has all the essential ingredients for the perfect road trip. Beautiful ever-changing scenery, dramatic seascapes and you’ll always get a warm welcome in the pretty towns and villages.

Heddon’s Mouth

At  only 16.5 miles, this jaunt could easily be completed in less than an hour, but we recommend stopping off in pretty Ilfracombe and Combe Martin before taking this gentle stroll to where the sea meets some of England's highest cliffs.
