Experience the romance, mystery and beauty of wild moors, beautiful river valleys, golden beaches and picturesque harbours.

A land of outstanding beauty and stunning diversity World renowned blue flag golden beaches - Exmoor - One of England's prettiest National Parks.

Overflowing with its own special character and spirit, North Devon is far more than just a beautiful place to visit, it's a way of life. A land of bustling market towns and sleepy villages, golden beaches and picturesque harbours, rolling hills and wild moorland.

North Devon has some of the finest stretches of sand in the British Isles. Woolacombe, a blue flag beach, was recently voted as one of the world's top ten. Around the headland is Croyde a Seaside Award beach, famous for its surfing, while Saunton for sheer beauty is hard to beat. The famous Pebble ridge at Westward Ho! is also well worth a visit.

The pretty harbours at Clovelly, Ilfracombe and Lynmouth make a stunning contrast to the wilds of Exmoor National Park. A remote area where deer and wild ponies roam the open moorland and where the gorse and heather filled hills drop down to dramatic cliffs.

Some of Devon's most beautiful countryside lies around the traditional market towns of Holsworthy and Hatherleigh. This is Ruby Country. If you're looking for a holiday to remember, a weekend escape or simply a great day out, Ruby Country is the place to be. Tranquil villages, winding lanes, rolling landscape, with Dartmoor and Exmoor as a dramatic backdrop make Ruby Country an ideal base for cycling, rambling, horse riding and fishing.

Such diversity makes North Devon the perfect destination for a family holiday or short break at any time of the year.
