Highlights
A wonderful five day break to Ilfracombe – perhaps the perfect, timeless Devon resort.
Enjoy two included excursions to the quaint fishing village of Lynmouth, with its picturesque harbour and Lynton with its Victorian and Edwardian buildings, along with a spectacular journey aboard the Waverley Paddle Steamer to Lundy Island.
Enjoy a wonderful excursion aboard the Waverley Paddle Steamer, the world’s last seagoing paddle steamer to Lundy Island, a hidden gem in the Bristol Channel. Departing from Ilfracombe, the journey combines maritime history with breathtaking scenery, as you glide through the open waters and admire the elegant wooden decks and vintage-style saloons while enjoying refreshments watching for seabirds and marine life, including dolphins and seals. Upon arrival at Lundy Island, enjoy free time to explore its wild beauty. Managed by the Landmark Trust, Lundy is a haven for nature lovers, featuring dramatic cliffs, rare wildlife, and fascinating historical sites, including the medieval Marisco Castle. As the Waverley steams back to the mainland, relax and reflect on a truly unique adventure—a journey that blends history, nature, and the thrill of paddle-steamer travel on an unforgettable day.
