North DevonExmoor and the North Devon coast are the main attractions of this relatively unpopulated area of Devon . To the east is Exmoor with its heather moors and oak-wooded valley, including the spectacular cliffs where Exmoor seems to literally tumble into the sea. Any visit here must include a stop at the clifftop town of Lynton to enjoy its breathtaking coastal views and experience the cliff railway that drops almost vertically down to Lynmouth. Further west you can find miles of flat sandy beaches at Woolacombe and Croyde, while further west still is Braunton Burrows, a unique area of sand dunes supporting a tremendous variety of wild flowers and grasses.Several of these North Devon beaches are popular for surfing and other water sports, while further inland the countryside provides excellent opportunities for walking or riding. The Tarka trail is the best known of these, and there are plenty of places to hire bicycles so as to take advantage of the well organised cycle routes. The main town, Barnstaple, draws all these threads together and is not only a vibrant market town but also has a fascinating maritime history. |
