Day 1: Following your home taxi collection you will board our luxury tour coach and head south west to Devon and the town of Barnstable. We will be served tea/coffee & biscuits on our arrival whilst our cases are delivered to our rooms.
Day 2: Our first stop this morning is the picturesque resort of Lynmouth where we have time to explore. Surrounded by magnificent scenery, Lynmouth is unequalled by any resort on England’s shore. The high ground of Exmoor plunges steeply into the sea providing a breath-taking backdrop to the rural communities nestling below. The Lyn Rivers that tumble through deep wooded valleys as a series of small waterfalls meet at Lynmouth and flow across a rocky shore to the open sea. There is also a beautiful small harbour to discover.
From here we make our way through scenic ‘Little Switzerland’, as the region is known, to the lovely village of Dunster, with its famous castle and octagonal Yarn Market. Later we head to the popular seaside resort of Minehead. Our return takes us through Exford and the Exmoor National Park.
Day 3: This morning is at leisure in Barnstaple allowing you time to visit the weekly market. Our afternoon visit takes us to the ancient seaport of Bideford. This thriving town, also with an historic Pannier Market houses many antique shops which are scattered amongst the narrow backstreets and alleyways that lead up from the quay and the river. These alleys are known locally as drangs. The tree-lined quay still bustles with fishing vessels, cargo and pleasure boats, and there are regular boat trips to Lundy Island in the Bristol Channel, about 12 miles away. (boat trip not included)
Day 4: Today we head to the Victorian seaside resort of Ilfracombe, known as the jewel in the North Devon Coast. There is something for everyone here, with its picturesque historic harbour of quaint pastel coloured houses, 14th Century chapel perched on Lantern Hill and Damien Hirst’s statue Verity standing guard at the entrance, all surrounded by dramatic clifftop scenery.
Day 5: Sadly this morning we depart our hotel and make our way back to Norfolk, making suitable stops en-route. Upon arrival in the early evening, you will find our door to door taxi service waiting to return you home.
