The Coastal town of
Ilfracombe, with it's variety of shops, excellent restaurants and dramatic scenery is the ideal base from which to explore the outdoors in North Devon.
With the largest
natural harbour on the North coast, Ilfracombe is a haven for marine and watersports enthusiasts.
The town, of some
11,000 people, centres itself around this bustling working harbour. Fishing boats moor along the quayside and anglers cast a line to fish from the pier. From here you can take a
boat trip to explore the sea life or join MV Oldenburg to visit Lundy Island, eleven miles from the coast of North Devon. The last ocean going paddle steamer in the World, The
Waverley, can be boarded in the Summer months to take an Exmoor coastal cruise or travel across the Bristol Channel to visit Wales.
