LOCATION

Woolacombe is well known as a very popular destination for family holidays, thanks to its long sandy beach (consistently recognised by bodies such as TripAdvisor as one of the best in the UK), good surf, range of family amusements, and natural beauty. Though this large village’s resident population is small at around 1,000, a very healthy year-round tourist trade helps support a range of businesses including independent shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants, and Woolacombe continues to attract large amounts of investment. North Devon’s commercial centre of Barnstaple is just 12 miles away, and the notable towns and villages of Ilfracombe (5 miles) and Croyde (4 miles) are also nearby. A bus service runs from Woolacombe to Barnstaple, Ilfracombe, Combe Martin and Mortehoe.
