With
its commanding position overlooking Lynmouth town and harbour Clooneavin makes
the perfect base for exploring the delights of North Devon. The spectacular
scenery surrounding Lynton and Lynmouth prompted the Victorians to dub the area
"The Little Switzerland of England".
Exmoor
National Park is on the doorstep with over 700 miles of footpaths and bridleways.
The rivers provide both fly, game and course fishing, whilst horse riding and
walking allows the visitor to experience some of the most stunning landscapes
in the country. The magnificent rock formations in the Valley of the Rocks show
this landscape at its most surreal.
Dotted
with pretty little villages such as Dulverton and Oare, where, in the famous
book "Lorna Doone" Lorna was shot on her wedding day in the villages
little church, Exmoor's history will fascinate and enthrall you. A walk along
the steeply wooded valley to Watersmeet to view the dramatic waterfalls is also
a day out to remember.
North
Devon also offers a wealth of things to do and see. Barnstaple and Ilfracombe
have excellent theatres and during the summer, festivals take place right across
North Devon. Trips to Lundy Island twelve miles off the coast are well worth
the effort and North Devon's miles of sandy beaches are some the cleanest and
finest in the world.
