Hi

I've booked at a campsite in Ilfracombe north devon called napps.

Just wondering has anyone ever been to that area because i have never been and was wondering what places would be a good day out for families.

I've been told the is great and the site looks good so hopefully it should be good

Cheers

Steve

Hi Steve

North Devons a lovely area with lots to see and do for all the family.Good days out are to be had at Lynton and Lynmouth,Watersmeet,Woolacombe,Watermouth castle,Morthoe(take a walk down to Rockham bay....smashing!).If you go to Lynton take a walk through the Valley of the Rocks there are some great views.Lots of other nice places around including Exmoor and of course Ilfracombe itself!Never stayed at Napps always camped at Morthoe....great location if your into coast paths etc.Hope you and family have a great time on your holiday!

Watersmeet excellent walk also rockham bay is beautiful!!!carry on past it up to the light house.

Enjoy a pint in the thatch at croyde possibly the most chilled pub i ve been in.(never been in the summer though)

Is it the valley of the rocks that have those two giant buzzards flying around?

Hiya corni

Ive never seen any buzzards flying around there to be honest only two middle aged buzzards clambering up and down the rocks....me and the oh lol

Hi we keep our caravan at napps for the summer. Just came back yesterday after a week there. I am sure you will love it.

All the above places are good, there is also watermouth castle within walking distance, and you can go back in for a £1 once you have paid to go in the first time. Also we went to a place called ' The Big Sheep ' which we though was fantastic. They have demonstrations every 30 mins. Dog trials, sheep shearing ect. and a good indoor play area for kids. There is a dinasour & wildlife park, just up the road, and exmoor zoo a bit further on.

Also Woolacombe and croyd are about 10 to 12 miles away. great beaches and surfing.

Hope you have a great holiday, there are plenty of leaflets in the reception area, and the staff are very helpful.

The Lundy Island (from Ilfracombe harbour) day trip is good too - beautiful unspoilt place with lots of wildlife and we were very close to seals in the bay which the children were fascinated with. 

Combe Martin is great too for rockpooling and crabbing and a lovely little town.

Great area to go to - enjoy your holiday!

Thanks for all the replys it sounds a lovely place looking forward to it, not in a caravan so hopefully we should be ok

Cheers again Steve

Hi,

We went ilfacombe last year camping and it was great. in Ilfracombe itself theres a harbour and shops and arcades thats about it unless you travel out of ilfracombe into woolcombe which have a beach and a few things to do. thats about it! good luck
