The West Country / Devon region
North Devon is one of the most beautiful areas of the British Isles. It boasts miles of unspoilt and award winning beaches. The coastline is one of the most popular surfing venues in the country, with Croyde being the most popular.
The beaches at Croyde and Woolacombe regularly win awards for cleanliness and safety and are manned by lifeguards throughout the summer months.
Most of the region appears to be untouched by time as sleepy, windy lanes reveal thatched roofed cottages and historic buildings and villages such as Lynton in the north of the region and Clovelly in the south. The village of Croyde has many examples of cobb walled, thatched cottages.
Croyde / Georgeham area
The region of Croyde is well known for its surfing and out door activities (climbing, walking and cycling) There are also many historic sights near by including Arlington Court, Watermouth Castle. Georgeham is a village and civil parish near Croyde, North Devon in the west of England. The hamlet of Cross lies between Georgeham and Croyde.
The village gave its name to HMS Georgeham, a Ham class minesweeper. Georgeham is a historic village lying close to some of the most dramatic beaches of the North Devon Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty which are flanked by the rocky headlands of Baggy Point and Saunton Down. Pronunciation is a controversial issue. Traditionalists maintain that there is in fact an emphasis on both the syllables George and ham. Others, usually outsiders who do not originally come from North Devon, believe there to be no pronunciation on the ham, thus making it sound George- um.
