💡 Tips
- Drive with extreme caution on the single-track country lanes and be prepared to reverse for oncoming traffic.
- Bring sturdy walking boots: the stretch of the South West Coast Path around here is hilly and often muddy.
- Always check tide times before exploring small coves like Broadsands, as it is easy to get cut off at high tide.
- Support the community by picking up essentials at the community-run village shop.
🍽 Food
Scones with clotted cream and jam. Remember the Devon way: cream first, then jam! Found in nearby tearooms.
Visit the local village inn for traditional British pub food like fish and chips or a hearty Sunday Roast.
Head to neighboring harbor towns (like Ilfracombe) for freshly caught fish from the Bristol Channel.
🛍 Shopping · 🧘 Quiet spots
Purchase local produce, fresh bread, and daily essentials here. It’s a community-run hub.
Look out for farm shops on the roads into the area, selling local North Devon meats, cheeses, and ales.
A sheltered natural harbor, handy for quietly watching the water and small boats away from the prevailing winds.
Walk inland into the deep, quiet woodlands that are carpeted with wildflowers in the spring.

Berrynarbor is a beautifully preserved, multi-award-winning coastal village set in the North Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the United Kingdom. Characterized by its narrow winding streets, historic stone cottages, and blooming floral displays, it represents the quintessential English village. Positioned in a deep, wooded valley that slopes down toward the Bristol Channel, it has visitors wide-open scenery and true coastal tranquility. The village’s dramatic coastline is home to spectacular hidden gems such as Broadsands and Golden Cove beaches. Broadsands is a highly secluded, magical cove with a shingle beach, reachable via a steep wooded path, offering incredibly clear waters well-suited for wild swimming. Golden Cove provides equally remarkable, rugged coastal views, embodying the wild, untamed beauty of the North Devon coast.

Located just a short drive from the larger resort towns of Ilfracombe and Combe Martin, the village is highly accessible yet feels worlds away.
