Day 3: Lynton and Lynmouth
This optional excursion is available to pre-book or you can book during your tour.
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.
