We depart from our home area and arrive at our hotel in time for dinner.

Day 2

Lynmouth, Lynton & Minehead
Our first stop this morning is the picturesque resort of Lynmouth where we have time to explore the narrow streets and maybe take the cliff railway to the twin village of Lynton. From here we make our way through scenic 'Little Switzerland', as the region is known, to the lovely village of Dunster, with its famous castle and octagonal Yarn Market. We have time in the popular seaside resort of Minehead and our return takes us through Exford and the Exmoor National Park.

Day 3

Barnstaple & Bideford
Today is Market Day in Barnstaple where we have the morning free to explore the market and town with its elegant Georgian buildings before our afternoon visit to the ancient seaport of Bideford, delightfully set on the banks of the River Torridge.

Day 4

Ilfracombe
This excursion takes us to the Victorian seaside resort of Ilfracombe, known as the jewel in the North Devon Coast. Discover a quaint quayside and harbour, whitewashed villas, lovely beaches, coastal paths and an abundance of cafes and shops. Why not visit the stunning Tunnel Beaches, hand carved in the 1820's, the four tunnels provide a truly unique experience. Read extensive history information throughout the site - including hilarious guides to Victorian etiquette for boys, girls and for when boating with ladies! (a small charge applies).
