Located on the coast of North Devon, the Victorian town of Ilfracombe has more to offer than you might think. Indoors and out, on land and sea – there is something for everyone.

A couple of weekends ago myself and some of the team attended the Sea Ilfracombe Maritime Festival. 

Today, we are excited to see the return of the MV Balmoral to Ilfracombe today.

We are off to Ilfracombe seafront this Saturday.  It’s promising to be a busy one – with 800 passengers from the MS Prinsendam cruise ship arriving in Ilfracombe at 8am.

This week (weather permitting), we are excited to see the return of the MV Balmoral to Ilfracombe.

In recent years, there has been something of a food revolution here in North Devon. With more new restaurants, bistros, local producers and street vendors all making fabulous dishes using fresh and local ingredients.

Next month, Ilfracombe will play host to an exciting new Ilfracombe Art Trail, an open house event of artists, of all disciplines, displaying their work in their own homes, studios and art galleries. 

It was such a beautiful sunny day that I decided to take a walk and enjoy the delights of Ilfracombe after dropping my son off at the skatepark there.

The Ilfracombe Aquarium is a fantastic day out for the entire family whatever the weather.

ILFRACOMBE’S new Dotto land train has arrived in the town after a gruelling journey from Italy. The purple and cream train, which will take tourists on tours of Ilfracombe, was unloaded on Tuesday, November 19.
