Day 1
After joining the coach, we make our way to our hotel and check in.
Day 2 – Barnstaple & Woolacombe
We head first to Barnstaple, the capital of north Devon. The town features many fine buildings and attractive streets and is also home to the historic Barnstaple Pannier Market which offers a range of produce, arts and crafts, antiques and collectables. Afterwards we head back to the seaside to visit Woolacombe, famed for its three miles of golden sands and regularly recognised as one of the top ten beaches in the world. Blow away the cobwebs with a bracing stroll along the beach, browse the shops or relax in one of the pubs or cafés.
Day 3 – Lynton & Lynmouth
We spend half a day in the picturesque villages of Lynton and Lynmouth. Lynmouth boasts charming fishermen’s cottages, quaint pubs, galleries and souvenir shops which cluster around its pretty harbour. The vibrant village of Lynton lies above Lynmouth, connected by the Cliff Railway, the highest and steepest fully water-powered Victorian railway in the world, offering beautifully scenic coastal views. The village is full of lovely narrow lanes and independent shops to explore.
Day 4 – Bude
Our final excursion takes us to Bude for half a day. Situated on the north Cornwall coast, this delightful seaside town has a laid-back charm and atmosphere with pristine sandy beaches, spectacular views and independently-owned shops and restaurants. Day 5 After breakfast, we check out of our hotel and head for home.
