Discover north Devon's stunning Heritage Coast and book a
holiday cottage in Croyde, a village with bags of character. Old,
thatched cottages line the streets, home to ice-cream parlours and
cosy tearooms, plus a small selection of shops selling gifts, surf
gear and everyday essentials. You'll also find the Rock &
Gem Museum, filled with unique pieces from around the world.
Just over the dunes are the soft, Blue Flag sands of Croyde
Beach, framed by cliffs and famous for long, rolling breakers.
You'll find a huge surfing community here and also lessons for
beginners. Other amazing beaches close to your Croyde cottage
include Saunton, Putsborough
and the popular family resort of Woolacombe.
If it's not the surf it's probably the walking that
draws you to Croyde, with a whole stack of footpaths weaving around
the bay. Pick up maps at the National Trust car park, take in the
views from Baggy Point or follow the self-guided 'Fruit &
Nut Trail'.
