What makes North Devon
so Special?
 |
In an age when there is a bewildering
choice of holiday destinations to choose from, why is
it that North Devon still attracts well over one million
returning holiday visitors every year?
The most succinct answer is - simply because it's
so beautiful. The beaches are beautiful, the coastline
is beautiful, the traditionally farmed rolling countryside
and untamed splendour of Exmoor are beautiful, and the
lush green valleys of the Taw and Torridge rivers are
also undeniably beautiful. |
It is this life enhancing, unspoilt natural
beauty and fresh, clean air that brings so many visitors
back year after year - with each generation reliving idyllic
childhood memories on surf washed, sandy beaches which
put those of supposedly more exotic locations completely
in the shade.
Now officially recognised as one of only three remaining
'areas of tranquillity' in Britain, and with historic
market towns and villages that retain the unique charm
and character of an increasingly bygone age, North Devon
has a timeless, unspoilt quality which is quintessentially
English and can refresh the most jaded of spirits. Many
artists, writers and poets bear testimony to the area's
ability to provide the peace, scenery and relaxed pace
of life that is so conducive to creative inspiration.
For anyone also wishing to enjoy new sights, experiences
and activities to make their holiday complete, North Devon
could never prove to be a disappointment. |

Spectacular coastal pathways, Exmoor
and 180 miles of cycle and footpaths on the Tarka Trail
make North Devon a paradise for walkers and wildlife
enthusiasts - whilst fishermen and golfers will also
be spoilt for choice on where best to enjoy their sport.
With recently developed shopping complexes at multiple
'Britain in Bloom' winning Barnstaple and Atlantic
Village on the outskirts of the Elizabethan port of
Bideford,
and a huge variety of family entertainment options
throughout the area, North Devon can offer a truly
special holiday
experience that you'll never forget - and will soon
want to repeat.
