Now a vibrant shopping hub, including the historic Pannier Market, enjoy the town at your leisure today. Bideford is a place of culture too, having been home to the author Charles Kingsley. If you're in the mood for nature and wildlife, regular trips to Lundy Island are the perfect way to see Devon's puffin population (not included).

The award-winning resort is the perfect place to relax beside the seaside with a laidback atmosphere throughout the town.

Do as much as you wish in this much-loved resort on the North Cornish coast, the day is yours.

DARTMOOR &

BUCKFAST ABBEY (FULL DAY) - Explore the dramatic scenery of Dartmoor National Park where wild open moorlands and deep river valleys offer a rich history and rare wildlife. We visit the villages of Bovey Tracey and Princetown where you will have the opportunity to visit the National Park Visitors Centre located in what was the old Duchy Hotel, where Sir Arthur Conan Doyle stayed and started writing his famous Sherlock Holmes story The Hound of the Baskervilles. We also visit Buckfast Abbey where a community of Benedictine monks live self-sufficiently, welcoming visitors from all around the world.

CLOVELLY

(FULL DAY) - Clinging to a 400-foot cliff, the picturesque, ancient, fishing village of Clovelly has no vehicular traffic, just donkeys! It was once owned by the Queen of England. From Elizabethan days until now, it has been in private ownership which has helped to preserve its unique atmosphere. Please be aware, Clovelly's famous cobbled street is a 20% gradient and can be slippery.
