Ilfracombe travel guide

Things to Do

  • The giant Verity statue at the harbour mouth and St Nicholas Chapel on Lantern Hill.
  • Tunnels Beaches, sheltered coves reached through tunnels hand-cut into the rock.
  • Summer boat trips from the harbour to Lundy Island.
  • Walks on the South West Coast Path towards the Torrs and Combe Martin.
  • Shows at the Landmark Theatre on the seafront.

Getting There

Ilfracombe has no railway station; the nearest is Barnstaple, at the end of the Tarka Line from Exeter, with buses onward to the town. A car is the most practical way to explore the coast and nearby beaches. For more options in the area, see our hotel pages for Barnstaple and Exeter.

The best time for beaches and boat trips is May to September; Lundy sailings run only in season and depend on the weather.
