Ilfracombe is a stunning coastal town. Set between the National Park of Exmoor to the East and the golden coast with the surfing beaches to the West. Ilfracombe is in a remarkable location for romantic getaways, family holidays or active breaks.
Ilfracombe is a town bursting with pride, bustling shops, regular farmers markets and independent high street retailers providing you with choice, quality and a few surprises like the chocolate emporium and museum.
The heritage harbour and quay are spectacular, with many pubs, restaurants and shops. It is from the harbour that boats leave to the magical Lundy Island, a place of outstanding natural beauty.

The coast path between Woolacombe and Lynton with Ilfracombe at its heart is breathtaking in more ways than one.
A few minutes from the centre of Ilfracombe by car or bus are the spectacular sandy beaches and dunes of Woolacombe, Croyde Bay and Saunton Sands. If shopping is what you are after, then taking a trip to the nearby town of Barnstaple is highly recommended.
