North Devon’s
beaches offer
thrills and spills...
with surfing, kite surfing and stand up paddle
boarding. There are havens for sailors and coasteering
experiences too. Away from the sea you can have a go
at horse riding, llama trekking or eco-friendly electric
quad biking.
Whenever you plan to visit, North Devon is bound to
be celebrating something! From Bideford’s New Year
fancy dress party - one of the biggest in Europe - to
Torrington’s traditional Mayfair with its Morris Men
and maypoles.
Summer offers up the fabulous Barnstaple Fringe
Theatrefest and GoldCoast Oceanfest Surf and Music
Festival in Croyde. And you can get your fill of local
delicacies at Clovelly’s Lobster and Crab Feast or sup
a local pint at one of Ilfracombe’s three beer and cider
festivals - with plenty of live local music of course!

With an abundance of artists and makers producing
original hand crafted work there are plenty of souvenirs
to be had without racking up your carbon footprint.
Shop in one of North Devon’s vibrant market towns or
buy straight from the artist in their village home studio.
