Ilfracombe, a coastal gem, invites holidaymakers to uncover its quirky side amidst stunning landscapes. Begin your exploration by gazing upon the striking and controversial 'Verity,' a towering sculpture by Damien Hirst. This imposing figure, divided into pregnant and anatomical halves, stands guard over the harbour, sparking conversation and contemplation.
Delve into the peculiar at the Ilfracombe Museum, showcasing an eclectic mix of exhibits, from local maritime history to curiosities like a shrunken head. Embrace the unconventional by embarking on a Landmark Theatre experience—a distinctive venue carved into the cliffs offering live performances and events against a breathtaking backdrop of the sea.
Seek adventure at the Tunnels Beaches, a network of hand-carved tunnels leading to secluded coves and tidal pools. These Victorian tunnels add an enigmatic touch to your seaside escapades. For a taste of the whimsical, take a stroll along the South West Coast Path towards Hillsborough Hill, where panoramic views reward your hike, and the remains of an ancient hill fort add an air of mystery.
