Orchard Dene (997)

Breathingspace (1.0 miles)
Choose from gentle activities like archery, clay pigeon shooting or falconry or try climbing, abseiling, coasteering or gorge scrambling.

Croyde (1.2 miles)
Lots of old world Devon charm to be found here - Croyde is a tangle of narrow, twisty lanes and pretty cottages. The main attraction is, of course, the beach – a perfect v-shaped notch in the towering cliffs with fine, yellow sand. Croyde is a mecca for surfers due to the consistent waves that roll onto the shore, but even if you don’t fancy a dip yourself, there are plenty of other ways to enjoy the location, from horse riding on the sand, walking the coast path or hiring a bike and setting off to explore the north Devon coast.

Putsborough Sand (1.3 miles)
Renowned for its cleanliness and vast expanse of golden sand, Putsborough Sand is paradise for both swimmers and surfers.

Saunton Golf Club (1.5 miles)
A magnet for the serious golfer, this links course is often rated as one of the finest in the country.

Surf South West (1.7 miles)
The first surf schools in the UK to be awarded the highest standard of Level 4 by the British Surfing Association. Beachside surf centres on Saunton Sands and Croyde Beach.

Woolacombe Sand (1.7 miles)
At first glance, Woolacombe appears to have been somewhat swamped by modern holiday facilities, with rows of hotels, shops and cafes. Once on the beach, however, it’s easy to ignore the tussle of commerce going on in the town - extensive dunes shield the development and leave you to enjoy three miles of flat, wide sand. Even on the busiest summer day, if you’re happy to take a stroll along the beach, you’ll find a quiet spot to lay your towel.
