Croyde is a traditional, characterful village with a great selection of pubs, restaurants and shops. You can sample a traditional Devon Cream Tea, relax on the beautiful beach or experience some of the surfing for which Croyde is renowned. Children will love playing amongst the rock pools along the coast and playing on the beach, and there is also plenty of opportunity for golf, walks and swimming.

The beaches at Croyde and Woolacombe regularly win awards for cleanliness and safety and are manned by lifeguards throughout the summer months.

Most of the region appears to be untouched by time as sleepy, windy lanes reveal thatched roofed cottages and historic buildings and villages such as Lynton in the north of the region and Clovelly in the south. The village of Croyde has many examples of cob walled, thatched cottages.

Croyde is ideally located within easy reach of the harbours of Clovelly and Lynmouth which are also perfect places to relax. Meander through the streets of Lynmouth and take a ride on the unique water powered cliff railway to the twin town of Lynton which is perched high on the cliffs. Clovelly is another of the prettiest coastal village where it feels as if time stood still. The only means of transport on these famous cobbled streets are donkeys and sleds.

There are beaches at Woolacombe, Combe Martin, Putsborough, Croyde and Saunton, near Braunton.
