3 of us enjoyed a gorgeous afternoon tea at this pretty corn mill near Ilfracombe bay. One friend is diabetic and I am vegan. The staff were very knowledgeable about different dietary needs. My freshly baked vegan cheese scone was delicious, the nicest scone I have ever had. There was a choice of savoury or sweet (24 hours notice required for vegan). There was a choice of cheese or houmous with it. I chose cheese with onion marmalade for my scone and houmous and chutney for my sandwich. The bread was lovely. After, there was a choice of 2 vegan cakes( raspberry and coconut or cherry and chocolate), both delicious. It was served with a huge pot of tea. There was plenty to eat , the food was delicious ( much is baked with their own milled flour) and it was very reasonably priced.
2. South West Coast Path Walk - Ilfracombe and the Torrs
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 201 reviews
This 3.2 mile route on the South West Coast Path travels through a long wooded valley to The Torrs, a rugged area also known as 'The Seven Hills' with tremendous views across the Bristol Channel. Any walk around the town features steep gradients, but the magnificent cliff scenery towering above the picturesque harbour makes it worth the effort.

A great walk from Combe Martin to ilfracombe. Many covered wooded paths if steep in places. Mouth watering views in the sunshine. Well worth doing if hard work in the sun. Widmouth definitely worth a visit ????????

This afternoon we have been to Tunnels Beaches, first carved out in 1823 by Welsh miners, it took 2 years for the tunnels to be carved out, and they also built 3 tidal bathing pools 2 for the ladies and 1 for the men, sadly due to the strong tides only one pool remains,great place to spend a couple of hours

5. St Nicholas Chapel

This is a lovely little chapel, originally built in 1321, with a lighthouse attached which dates back to the Middle Ages - said to be the oldest working lighthouse in the country. The views around are spectacular but, be warned, this is because of the height - it is quite a climb for we older folk! There are steep and not-so-steep paths, but all require fitness and mobility.
6. Capstone Hill

The path is steep but worth it for the views. At the top there is very little seating but on a dry day the grass makes a good enough seat. There is a beautiful statue at the top, marking the tragic death of a young girl, which is very sobering. On a windy day it's bracing up top but so beautiful, very much recommended.
7. Verity Statue

This is worth seeing Don’t forget that there are two sides to this statue and brilliant that both Damian Horst and Ilfracombe have created such an iconic sculpture that certainly is the talking point of the town
