| The Owner of 'Aggies Cottage' says about Ilfracombe |
| The Victorian town of Ilfracombe (1 mile) has a great selection of shops, pubs and restaurants (including The Quay Restaurant and White Hart Bar owned by Damian Hirst) located around a pretty harbour. This is also an ideal spot for the fishermen amongst you with a choice of either fishing from the rugged coastline or off the pier. A selection of deep sea fishing boats also leave the harbour daily. A visit to the Tunnels Beach is a ‘must’ - a unique place steeped in history where visitors reach the beach via four tunnels carved through the rocks in the 1820’s. This Blue Flag beach has a tidal pool which is popular with children who can enjoy inflatables and snorkelling in safety. |
