The West Country / Devon region

Everybody knows South Devon but North Devon is lesser known less crowded and has much better beaches with real yellow sand. The beaches are great for families and surfers alike and several of our beaches have been awarded Blue Flags.
The stunning beaches of North Devon and its world renowned reputation for wildlife, nature and beauty set a most amazing backdrop for the coastal towns and countryside villages that make up the area that is Devon.

Historic Barnstable dates back 1000 years and is a hub for great retail therapy. For nature lovers, see the puffins on Lundy Island or visit the Exmoor National Park to discover the most stunning views. The harbour, beaches and attractions in Ilfracombe have been attracting holiday makers in their droves since the Victorian era. There are so many places to visit in Devon - make sure you don't miss any.

The Barnstaple / Shirwell area

With so much to see and do in North Devon, you will be spoilt for choice. Discover fun filled days that will keep you and your little ones entertained and fascinated for hours on end. Whatever the weather there is an attraction or activity to suit, and plenty of retail therapy in our market towns. Whether you want to explore the coast or enjoy the best local food and drink North Devon has to offer, your journey starts here.

Barnstaple is the oldest borough in the country and is the commercial and agricultural centre of North Devon. A must visit for anyone seeking serious retail therapy. Saxons first settled in Barnstaple (Barum) over 1000 years ago; In 930 AD it was a Saxon stronghold serving as a market for the surrounding countryside.

Today it has a wonderful mixture of Victorian, Medieval and Georgian architecture and is proud to be a multiple winner of Britain in Bloom. Visit the Barnstaple Heritage Centre, sited in a fine Grade 1 listed building to learn more about the town's 1000 year history.

Reset Map

Leave the M5 at Junction 27 and follow the A361 to Barnstaple.

When you approach Barnstaple there are two options to get to North Hill.

Option 1 takes you through Barnstaple which can be very busy at peak times with slow moving traffic. This is the route if you want to visit Tesco or shops on the way in.

Option 2 bypasses Barnstaple and is recommended if you don’t want shops.

Option 1

As you approach Barnstaple turn right at the roundabout sign-posted A39 to Lynton and the Hospital. Follow signs to the Hospital which involves several roundabouts with right turns. Proceed until you see the hospital on your right and go straight through the lights. At this point I would recommend you switch off the SatNav as it will not take you to North Hill despite you having entered the right postcode.

Shortly after this turn left on the B3230 signposted Ilfracombe and Blakewell Fisheries. After about ½ mile turn right opposite the entrance to Blakewell Fisheries. After ¼ mile turn left signed North Hill and follow the mile long drive. Please take it slowly over the speed bumps. There are three strategically placed grass passing places on the right in the unlikely event that you meet any traffic.

Option 2

As you approach Barnstaple at the roundabout turn left signposted Bideford (A39) and Bude A361. At the Bishops Taunton Junction Roundabout go straight on. At Lake Roundabout turn right to Barnstaple and Ilfracombe A361. At Sticklepath Junction go straight on over the new bridge signposted Ilfracombe A361. Get in right hand lane as you approach lights and at second set turn right signposted Lynton A39 and Town Centre. At next lights filter and turn left signposted Lynton & Ilfracombe. At next lights opposite BP garage turn left signposted Lynton and Ilfracombe and Hospital.


Proceed until you see the hospital on your right and go straight through the lights. At this point I would recommend you switch off the SatNav as it will not take you to North Hill despite you having entered the right postcode.

Shortly after this turn left on the B3230 signposted Ilfracombe and Blakewell Fisheries. After about ½ mile turn right opposite the entrance to Blakewell Fisheries.

“Fantastic, tranquil setting, great for kids, safe and fun. Lovely pool.” We stayed in the Shippon which was a great cottage with fantastic views. We were only there for a short break (2 nights) and didn't need to go off-site as there was plenty to occupy the children including the great pool which was quiet as we went "out of season". If you are looking for a safe environment to let the kids roam then this is a great place. We will definitely be going back for a longer holiday in the summer and explore the beaches and local area. I will be recommending this place to all my friends! Good value and very relaxing mini-break. We received a very warm welcome from our hosts who were extremely helpful and kindhearted.
