Combe Martin’s history stretches back to the Iron Age, with Newberry Castle being a fine example. Walk around the fort and imagine what feudal times had been like. For a trip much further back in time, take the kids to The Wildlife and Dinosaur Park to see the wallabies, wolves and lions, and the robotic T. Rex and Velociraptor! Just three miles from Combe Martin lies the exquisite Arlington Court, a National Trust estate perfect for exploring North Devon’s cultural history and walking around the rolling gardens and woodlands.

Not to be ignored is the nearby seaside resort of Ilfracombe, home to Verity – an impressive statue taller than the Angel of the North. Created by the famous British artist Damien Hirst, it is located on the Pier Head at Ilfracombe’s picturesque harbour entrance. This is the embarkation point for a pleasure boat and sea-fishing trips, including day cruises to Lundy Island. Just a short stroll from Verity is The Landmark Theatre, Ilfracombe’s arts and theatre hub, always with a fantastic selection of shows and exhibitions.

Visit Combe Martin, and you’ll feel the warmth of its locals – after all, they won the Guinness world record for the world’s longest street party! A beautiful, serene village, a self-catered holiday cottage in Combe Martin will be one you’ll never forget.
