Local Area and Attractions
North Devon and Exmoor is a very special place, one
of the most beautiful areas of the British Isles. With numerous designated Areas
of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a stunning coastline including miles of golden
sands, pretty harbours, secret coves, dramatic cliffs and the wilderness that is
Exmoor. Also we are lucky enough to have Britain’s first world class UNESCO
Biosphere Reserve one of the finest unspoilt locations in the UK, this is
centred around Braunton Burrows sand dune system in the same Parish as Little
Comfort Farm!
Beautiful Beaches and Hidden Coves
There are miles of golden sand on the beaches of
Saunton, Croyde, Woolacombe and Putsborough where you can enjoy swimming,
surfing (there are a lot of lessons available locally which include board and
wet suit hire), body boarding, kite surfing, building a sandcastle or dare you
just lie in the sun read a good book and relax? Then there are the smaller coves
of Lee Bay, Combe Martin and many more stretching along the coast to Lynton and
Lynmouth where there are rock pools to explore, sea birds to watch and where the
pace of life is slower and great family memories are made. Most of the beaches
have been awarded Blue Flag or Seaside award status ensuring excellent
facilities and water quality.
Lovely Landscape and Quiet Countryside
Little Comfort enjoys an enviable location with our
own wonderful valley filled with the sounds of… Well not very much really, just
the trickle of the river and the animals and birds on the farm. Then there are
the wonderful walks and vistas that Exmoor has to offer, including the simply
beautiful Valley of the Rocks at Lynton, and the famous walks at Watersmeet. The
coast path that offers spectacular scenery around Baggy Point and Morte point
where there is ample opportunity for the hardy walkers or someone who prefers an
afternoon’s stroll. Part of the coast path is along the Tarka trail, which
offers 26 miles of off-road cycling along the banks of the Taw and Torridge
estuaries a great day out for everybody no matter what your ability on a bike.
Even Jackie can enjoy the Tarka trail, as there are no hills!! There are plenty
of places to hire bikes along the way or if you would like to bring your own
there is plenty of space in the barn at the farm to store them. Another great
day out is a trip to Lundy Island which is a couple of hours boat ride away and
is a great place to see seals and sea birds; it is a marine nature reserve. As
well as all of this there are, of course, lots of pretty villages to explore and
the patchwork of fields so typical of the West Country to enjoy.
Historic Houses and Glorious Gardens.
There is plenty to see and do if you enjoy visiting
historic buildings and villages. With the National Trust house at Arlington,
Chambercombe Manor, Tapley Park, Clovelly and Hartland Abbey all to visit. There
is also the three masted schooner moored in Bideford and a visit to Torrington
1646 to enjoy. We are also lucky enough to have the Royal Horticultural Society
garden Rosemoor, Marwood Hill, Hartland Abbey and Docton Mill to enjoy, as well
as many other interesting gardens which may only be open for certain times of
the year. Broomhill Sculpture garden is filled with amazing works of art and the
food is delicious as well!
Activities for all Ages
For families and children there are a number of
attractions to enjoy - all within 30 minutes of the farm.
They include: Exmoor Zoo, Watermouth Castle, Wildlife and Dinosaur Park, The Big
Sheep, Ilfracombe Aquarium. There are several more and we are happy to help you
choose the best one to suit your family and have leaflets at the farm to help
you make your choice. There are also 5 Golf courses locally including the links
courses at Westward Ho! and Saunton. Horse riding on the beaches and Exmoor, the
steam trains at Lynton and Minehead (this is a little bit further than 30
minutes). Boat trips along the coast to look at wildlife or to go fishing or of
course out to Lundy.
We do hope the above ideas are all helpful to you, there is much more detail on
the www.northdevon.com website if you would like to do a bit more research
before you arrive.
Whatever you decide to do though you can rest assured that there is plenty of it
in North Devon from peace and tranquillity to rest and recharge your batteries,
through to the most energetic holiday you can imagine!
