The region
Kentisbury is a rural part of North Devon, approx 10 miles north east of the larger town of Barnstaple. North Devon is home to some of Britain’s most breathtaking coastlines, the wild beauty of Exmoor, and the rolling hills of Tarka Country. Its diverse towns and villages cater to all, from peaceful hamlets nestled in hills to lively coastal resorts with a range of amenities.
For an active holiday, explore the 180 miles of cycleways on the Tarka Trail, or immerse yourself in nature with trails through the picturesque Doone Valley. Lundy Island, with its three lighthouses and puffin population, is a must-see, surrounded by the UK’s only statutory Marine Reserve.
With its miles of golden sandy beaches, including the Blue Flag Woolacombe Beach, North Devon’s coastline is among the finest in the world. Add to this a summer full of cultural festivals, theatre, music, and art, and you’ll find North Devon offers something for everyone.
