Lovely little harbour with colourful boats and some nice pubs around! Mind the black & white grumpy cat! 🐱

Without a doubt the true center of the town, it is absolutely pulsating here. Lots of places to stop for refreshments, The excursions to the bird island of Lundy also start here. It's interesting that people are still working hard in this port. We really enjoyed seeing so much!

A huge sandy beach and often very windy. The surfers love it, walkers wipe the sand from their eyes and brace themselves against the wind 😁

Wistlandpound Reservoir is a tranquil place where you can feel close to nature. It is an easy 2.6km hike around the edge of the lake which takes you through the forest and along the water's edge. All the while surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside. The path around the reservoir is accessible for both wheelchairs and pushchairs. The reservoir supplies drinking water to nearby Ilfracombe, Barnstaple and Combe Martin. If the water levels are low, look out for the ruins of the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway which used to run though the valley until the reservoir was built in 1956.

On the southern shores of Wistpoundland Reservoir, take a break in the bird hide to see what wildlife you can spot. You're fairly likely to see western cattle egret, and might be lucky to see a great white egret in the winter. There have also been recent sightings of white-tailed eagles up here! You can see all different waterfowl by taking a jaunt around the reservoir on the path.

Running alongside the Tarka Trail, the Isley Marsh Nature Reserve is a haven for many different and unusual bird species. Made up of salt marshes and intertidal mudflats on the Taw and Torridge Estuary, the reserve is home to curlew, greenshank, dunlin and even spoonbills during the winter months.

The pretty town of Ilfracombe is perched atop some of Devon's most stunning coast line. Ilfracombe's harbour is several centuries old. Boats ferry passengers to Lundy Island, North Cornwall and the Bristol Channel coasts. Ilfracombe is a lovely place to whistle away an afternoon, exploring quaint streets and eating ice cream on the beach. You can find out more about Ilfracombe, here: https://www.visitilfracombe.co.uk/
