The walk from Mortehoe to Lee is breathtaking and the small cove there is equally as pretty with it's whitewashed fishermans cottages. The Grampus pub has a lovely beer garden and there is live music sometimes on a Friday evening.

City/town information
Ilfracombe is a small harbour town with a working harbour, the boat trips from the harbour are a must! Sea Safari is so much fun and if you get a chance to visit Lundy Island you must do so. Fore Street is a nice place to walk to and get something nice to eat. There is also a cinema in this harbour town and a theatre. The Antidote is a lovely place to eat in the evenings, but you must book as it gets rather busy. There are also a handful of art galleries and some great places to eat ice creams. Stac's do fabulous homemade cake and good cocktails too! The Thatch Inn pub is a pretty pub serving local ales and a lovely place to sit in the summer.
