There is a nominal entrance fee to access this private cove and Victorian tidal pool but it’s well worth it! The tunnels- carved to enable beach access from the town when seawater bathing was in vogue – are lined with mounted archives, memorabilia and information panels that whisk you back to the pools opening in 1823. There’s a unique beach trip (with easy entry for buggies and beach paraphernalia), there is a shop, family restaurant, play hut and award-winning loos! 01271 879882

One of North Devon’s jewels. A much visited privately owned village built into a 400ft cleft in the towering North Devon cliffs. This quaint little fishing village is characterised by its white cottages and steep main street tumbling down to the tiny harbour sheltered by the robust 14th century 2 tier harbour wall. The Red Lion pub is conveniently located by the harbour, you’ll need a drink by the time you get there and another when you back up the top!
