Morte Point towards Bull Point and enjoy the coastal heathland and maritime grasslands, which
are great habitats for birds and other wildlife. The secluded coves of Rockham Bay and Bennett’s
Mouth are worth a peek too. Beware of high winds on the coast path. Paths can be muddy and
slippery in wet weather. Children should be supervised at all times. Dogs welcome under close
control.

Woolacombe Surf Centre Surf school, equipment hire, kayaking, but why not try
coasteering (pictured)? Climb, scramble, swim and jump your way along the
North Devon coastline with a trained instructor who will take care of you every
step of the way.

Borough Farm A chance to see Devon farming life right up close. Sheep dog
display, falconry and the “Shepherd Experience” where you get a two hour tour
of Morte Point. Hear about shepherding life, about the sheep and about the
training of the Borough Farm sheepdogs. Top dog ‘Fly’ will be with you for the
walk and she’ll give a demonstration of her work on the cliff tops, through the
rough terrain and working far into the distance.

Fly like a Bird See the North Devon countryside from a completely different and
exhilarating angle. Go tandem paragliding, soaring effortlessly through the sky with just the birds
as your company. During your flight, if the dual pilot believes the conditions are correct, you may
be offered the chance to fly the glider yourself. Whilst airborne your dual pilot describes how the
glider works and explains how the local terrain and the local weather provides such flying
conditions.

Ilfracombe

No need to use the car here as there are a number of attractions within walking distance including
the award-winning Ilfracombe Aquarium, the unique Tunnels Beaches, Ilfracombe Museum, Hele
Cornmill and Chambercombe Manor (see above), one of Britain’s most haunted houses.

Hampshire Rose Lifeboat trips. The Royal National Lifeboat Institution is amazing. When ships are
in trouble, volunteers race to their lifeboat station and head out, often into raging storms, to effect
a rescue. On average they turn to 24 times every day. Chances are there’s a lifeboat crew at sea
somewhere right now. The Hampshire Rose is a “retired” RNLI craft and you can take sightseeing
trips on it.
