Run by the Lethbridge family since 1962, this site is set on their historic working beef and sheep farm of 600 acres, with panoramic sea views. Explore the network of footpaths leading from the site across the farmland out to the Tarka Trail coastal path, including short walks along the footpaths to good local pubs. Don’t forget your binoculars for the birdlife (peregrines nesting), wildflowers and farm animals (lambing and calving at Eastertime) for all to enjoy, plus farm trailer rides around Damage Barton (Whitsun-15 Sep). You will be spoilt for choice when it comes to beaches – Woolacombe’s Blue Flag beach for sand and surf, Barricane for shells, Lee for rockpooling, Rockham for peace and quiet and many more little coves to seek out. Bathing off the Cornish and Devon coasts can be dangerous and particular note should be taken of any local warnings.
