Another fab beach!!!! Great for surfers and swimming, parking is tricky enough, try going right to the end of the road at Croyde point and pull into the National Trust Car Park. There is a great cafe just next to the car park also.

Privately owned beach, used in Victorian times, that also is now the Number 1 beach wedding destination in the UK. The tunnels beach area is separate from the wedding venue, you pay a small fee on entry, but it's worth a visit. It has also recently featured in Robson Green's Costal Lives programme.

Visit the top of the Sleeping Elephant in the harbour. All you need to do is walk from 2 The Villa to the right of the harbour and just keep left up along the coastal path. Beautiful views, and you can even walk down to Hele Beach if you stay along the coast. About 20 min walk from 2 The Villa

A place of outstanding beauty, only accessible via boat. No cars allowed on the island so you can catch a foot ferry from Ilfracombe Harbour, and stay all day or overnight. Bikes are available for hire on the Island. Amazing diving all round the Island.
