North Devon and Coastal Cruise

Local departure by coach or Home Connect service, then on to North Devon for a four-night stay.

This morning, we visit the largest honey farm in the UK and include a guided tour of the Honey Factory with a tasting. Learn more about bees, beekeeping and pollinator-friendly gardens, and be sure to enjoy some of the produce on sale!

If staying in Barnstaple, this afternoon we visit Bideford. Once Britain's third largest port, today it is best known as a thriving shopping centre with a historic Pannier market.

If staying in Bideford, this afternoon we visit Barnstaple. Situated on the River Taw, this ancient market town boasts a traditional Pannier market and a fantastic range of high street shops.

Enjoy a day at leisure in Barnstaple or Bideford, or why not join our optional excursion to Lynton and Lynmouth? Lynton is located 500 feet above its twin village of Lynmouth, and the villages are connected by the olde-worlde funicular railway that offers wonderful views across the bay.

Today, we enjoy a trip to Ilfracombe – a jewel of the North Devon coast. Be charmed by the white-washed buildings, grand Victorian villas and cosmopolitan vibe of this seaside resort.

We also enjoy a cruise, so sit back and admire the scenery. Exmoor National Park is home to some of the highest cliffs in the UK, such as the Great Hangman at 1043ft, so you can expect truly breathtaking views. Exmoor is also home to many nesting birds – bring your binoculars and enjoy a spot of birdwatching as we gently glide across the waters.
