North Devon Coastline -
Lynton and Lynmouth |
Famed
for the rolling moorland that covers much of
the country, Devon is a great place for
walkers. Dartmoor, to the south is dotted
with picture-perfect villages whilst Exmoor,
to the north finds the coastline more rugged
and the moorland more wild in its beauty. .
There are footpaths aplenty throughout the
county giving you the opportunity to take in
all the exercise you want - be it a short
ramble or a full day's hike along part of
the Two Moor Way, a 100-mile long path that
links the two moors.
If something less energetic is on the
agenda, there is plenty to occupy you away
from the granite tors and majestic moors.
Dartmouth and Plymouth have a strong
maritime history, and you can discover more
about the part they played in launching the
New World discoveries and defeating the
Spanish Armada.
For family days out, the region has no
shortage of attractions the National
Maritime Aquarium in Plymouth, Darlington
Crystal, a trip to Lundy Island, the cobbled
streets of Clovelly, Kents Cavern, farms and
wildlife parks, railways and of course, a
good old-fashioned day on the beach.
The coast of North-West Devon offers some of
the best locations for water sports anywhere
in the UK. Both its coasts have excellent
year-round surf and, whether you are trying
out your skills for the first time or
watching the children refining their
technique, there is something for everyone
of every level - cottages4you |

quieter times. The Oliver Cromwell
dining-room oozes nostalgia in its character
and décor and is a wonderful room for a
special dinner party. The large country
kitchen still retains much charm with a
stable door leading to the enclosed
courtyard and garden. The property sits
within a large English country garden; there
is even a little bridge set over the
enchanting brook, which runs through the
grounds. To the north lies the estuary town
of Teignmouth with its thriving harbour
where its fishing boats are still hauled up
on the pebbled beach. There is a ferry that
operates between Teignmouth and the lovely
coastal village of Shaldon. Pitt House is
well situated for easy access to the English
Riviera, the medieval town of Totnes and

"Views over bays and
cliffs from a castle stronghold - a unique
holiday opportunity . . ."
Watermouth Castle offers a rare
combination of opportunities - for not only
do visitors have the chance to live in a
castle, but they also enjoy unlimited, free
entry to one of the West Country''s premier
tourist attractions during their stay.
Within the splendid castle itself, there are
six superb apartments, an indoor heated
swimming-pool, a museum, a choice of theme
attractions, and some fascinating water
displays. Outside, the castle''s 50-acre
estate features wonderful landscaped
gardens, with plenty of space for strolling
and relaxing, and glorious woodland walks.
There are ducks and waterfowl to admire on
the lake outside the walls, and beautiful
views from the castle over Watermouth Bay
and its harbour, where there are slipway
facilities for visitors'' boats, as well as
moorings for larger craft (by arrangement
with the harbourmaster).
The
castle is a true example of a Victorian
folly, completed in the mid 19th-century by
the Bassett family. Now extensively restored
by the current owner, its self-contained
apartments are reached through an archway in
the south court, where the indoor heated
swimming-pool is available exclusively to
apartment residents. All of the properties
have been decorated and furnished to a
comfortable standard throughout, in keeping
with the style and ambience of the Castle,
and all feature four-poster, half tester or
brass beds.
A
separate part of the castle, open to the
public, contains the fascinating museum
collections, including a Victorian kitchen,
animated displays, mechanical musical
instruments, a large model railway and a
unique arcade of pier slot machines, all in
working order. In the underground theatre is
the Water Spectacular, reputedly one of the
best fountain shows in the world, a
thrilling mix of lights, music and water.
Outside in the grounds are further family
entertainments, including traditional rides
and slides, fascinating water features,
children''s play areas, a `Gnomeland'',
themed crazy-golf, and much, much more all
of which earned Watermouth Castle a place in
the finals of the South West Tourism `Large
Visitor Attraction Of The Year'' Award in
2005.
Watermouth Castle enjoys an incomparable
setting on rising ground, commanding views
over the bays and cliffs of the magnificent
coastline stretching away to the east. Take
a woodland walk through the estate to the
picturesque, award-winning village of
Berrynarbor, or visit the coastal village of
Combe Martin (less than 3miles to the east)
- famous not only for its sandy coves,
inlets and majestic headlands but also as
`the gateway to the Exmoor National Park''.
Combe Martin offers a choice of shops and
cafes, and one of Devon''s oldest inns!
Ilfracombe is only a five minute drive away
to the west, with a range of seaside
attractions, good shops and a golf course,
and visitors can enjoy miles of golden sand
at nearby Woolacombe and Croyde Bay. Superb
cliff-top scenery and beautiful wooded
valleys make this one of North Devon''s most

tranquillity. Whatever you decide to do,
Sherrill Farm is a superb place for the
entire family. Nestling in wonderful rolling
countryside, it is perfectly situated for
exploring North and South Devon and
Cornwall. Close by is the beautiful Tamar
Valley and Dartmoor National Park, both with
many breathtaking walks. The whole area is
ideal for those who enjoy cycling, horse
riding and walking.
There are many exciting places to visit
including Morwellham Quay and the National
Trust properties of Cotehele, Buckland Abbey
and Lydford George, with its White Lady
Waterfall. Tavistock, 6 miles, is a popular
market town with pannier market, shops and
opportunities for trout fishing. Enjoy
canoeing on the River Tamar and Tavistock
canal, or cycling on the Plym Valley track
or the newly-opened cycle track in Tavistock;
all of which your host will be happy to
advise you upon. The North and South coasts
are within easy reach by car and offer an
amazing choice of splendid sandy beaches,
watersports of all kinds, cliff top walks,
swimming, surfing and other seaside
activities. The old stannary town of
Launceston with its castle ruins is a short
drive and within easy driving distance is
the Eden Project. For those who enjoy a game
of golf there are several good 18-hole
courses in the area including the famous
international Jack Nicklaus course at St
Mellion. A must for all the family is
Trethorn Leisure and Golf Park at
Launceston.
