The garden and beyond:
Terraces of decking, pebbles and lawn stretch across to a dry stone wall and down to a white picket fence bordering the garden. Beyond is the cliff edge making a dramatic setting whether the waves are pounding or the sea is a becalmed 'pool'. It is completely safe within the garden boundaries.
There is a wooden walkway down to a lower decking area, where 'bleached' teak tables provide a lovely place to eat or drink. It looks across to the sea cliffs and the Torrs beyond.
The decked veranda which runs around the back and side of the house is a great place to lounge and to watch the stunning sunset come down over the sea.
It takes 5 mins to get to the local bay and there is a very pretty walk by the stream from the bay back up to the village pub and garden if a pit stop is required before climbing back up the hill!
As well as the cliff walks westwards to Bull Point, Morte Hoe and Woolacombe or east to the Torrs and Ilfracombe, there are paths through the wood.
Local Activities:
Woolacombe Bay is perfect for those who want to play on a beach. Miles of golden sand and designated one of the cleanest beaches in the EU, it has good facilities for children and surfers. The high cliffs and headlands along this coast are popular with rock climbers.
Exmoor National Park with its wild open spaces ,provides great walking, riding or cycling. There are also all the hidden villages with wonderful pubs to drink and eat in, as you explore the Park or bird/wildlife watch.
For golfers, there are the famous links courses, Royal North Devon and Saunton Sands, as well as the less demanding local courses and ranges.
There is sea fishing from Ilfracombe and some of the finest fly fishing rivers in the country around Barnstaple.
The mild climate is great for gardens grand and small from RHS Rosemoor to specialist nurseries.
There is information at the house on all these activities.
