Ilfracombe

Ilfracombe has may place to visit. Harbour with Verity statue, Lifeboat station, Victorian museum and Tunnel beaches, aquarium, or family games of crazy golf.

Along the Quay and in the surrounding streets there are restaurants, cafes, tea gardens and pubs, many with outside seating, giving the feel of a continental pavement culture. Small shops abound selling gifts and other quirky goods, art galleries and more general stores.

The Victorian passion for collecting has left its mark on Ilfracombe museum. When we opened in 1932, local people brought in their own collections of insects, taxidermy and curiosities to be displayed. Carefully open the specimen drawers – no stops! – to find fossils, insects, butterflies, pressed seaweed, birds’ eggs, shells and old wedding cake. Don’t miss the two-headed kitten!
