Westward Ho! (.9 miles)
Westward Ho! is one of possibly only two place names in the world that features an exclamation mark; it’s almost impossible to say it without breaking into a smile. Once dominated by holiday camps, Westward Ho! has been updated in recent years and although it remains a lively resort, it now has a thriving permanent population. The big draw, of course, is the beach – two miles of sand stretch into the distance, backed by a pebble ridge that forms a dividing line between the beach and Northam Burrows Country Park, a magnificent stretch of salt marsh, grassland and sand dunes.

The Big Sheep (1.0 miles)
Lots to do here, from feeding lambs and watching sheepdog trials to pony and tractor rides.

An historic course, the oldest links course in England, with fabulous views out to sea towards Lundy Island.

Marshford Organic Foods (2.0 miles)

Bideford (2.0 miles)
Just what you want in a seaside village - whitewashed cottages, higgledy-piggledy narrow lanes, a quaint harbour and plenty of cosy pubs and cafes to linger in.
