Crow Point, Nature Preserve in Braunton. American Rd, EX33 2NX.
Stunning views. Great place to walk or sit and relax. Lovely stretch of sandy beach and view of the estuary. Access to crow point car park is via a toll road (fee of £2). A good place to avoid big crowds on the beach.

We love to walk down to the Quay after dinner for an ice cream and a stroll with the kids and our dog. Just watch out for the seagulls.

For the day tripper from Ilfracombe. Favourite place to visit for a spot of lunch and some gift shopping. One of my favourite shops in Lynton is Gallery @ 500ft. Gorgeous items to collect. Then take the Lynmouth cliff railway to get down to the bottom of the cliff to visit Lynmouth. Kids of all ages would love it.

The best curry house in my opinion. And worth the journey into Barnstaple. What is my favourite dish.... all of them but the railway lamb curry is amazing. You will need to book. 01271 322 299 / www.gangesbaarnstaple.co.uk.
They do have a take away menu but don't deliver to Ilfracombe. But I have been know to collect and it is still warmth to enjoy back home.
