Referred to by many as the culinary and cultural hub of North Devon, Ilfracombe is a coastal town and civil parish that has a fantastic range of different attractions which makes it the ideal place to base yourself for a holiday exploring this part of England. Since the 1800s it's been a popular travel destination because of its variety of beaches, most notably the famous Tunnel Beach that is reached by hand-carved stone tunnels used by the Victorians to segregate those who were bathing in the sea and avoid any ‘indecent’ interaction. There’s a thriving arts and crafts scene in the town that supports plenty of gift shops and galleries, Watermouth Castle and theme park offers plenty for families to enjoy, and there are lots of top-rated restaurants that cater to all taste buds.
