Sightseeing

If you love cold, open water swimming this is a MUST VISIT place. Set on the stunning beach at Bude, Bude Sea Pool is a semi-natural amenity that has provided a haven for free and safe bathing and other water-based activities since the 1930s and is stunning! Access is unrestricted and free!

A wonderful find for breakfast and lunch. a stunning farm and gift shop on site too! Serving ethical food from artisan suppliers (at a great price)! In the summer use the covered outdoor seating area and, in winter, keep warm by the wood burner over a great (huge) Sunday lunch. 5 miles from the farm.

Step back in time to the dinky, cute Clovelly. Clovelly is a privately-owned harbour village in the Torridge district of Devon. The pub on the harbour is lovely. Best time to.visit is when the tide is in. The walk down is on uneven cobbles so wearing flat, comfortable shoes is a must. You can use your ticket fir return visits within 7 days (but unlikely you will want to go back) as its a one off experience. Tip: the walk back.up is quite tough so best pay to get the Land rover ride back!!!

Food Scene

THE best pub in Holsworthy!! Ash and Gill are wonderful hosts and do great pub meals! Set in the square, there is ample parking. Locals make you feel really welcome and prices are far lower than you would pay in cities or towns nearer to the coast. Pop in and say hello - you won't be disappointed!
