We have been reading lately about the increasing numbers of people who travel and holiday alone in the UK and abroad.
experienceDevon caters very well for the single, independent traveller, as we can put together a great tailor-made itinerary for you that is as active or relaxed as you want it to be - and we don't charge a single-person supplement as all our itineraries are per person.
We can arrange for you to meet local people who are interested in meeting with you and sharing their knowledge or expertise, such as local wildlife, artists, musicians or guided walks. Visit fascinating buildings, go on a boat trip or take part in a creative workshop, whatever you want to do and makes it your holiday.
We can also offer you a helping hand whilst you are here in North Devon - we can give you an orientation to the area if it is completely new to you, or indeed if you are in a foreign Country. We are also available at the end of a mobile phone if you get stuck, need help or just have a question. You can also borrow things that you may have forgotten to pack or just didn't know you needed until you got here, such as walking sticks, waterproof jacket, maps and guide books.
Above all, our tailor-made itineraries are personalised just for you - tell us the kind of experience you want and we'll put together your short break or two-week holiday for you to enjoy.

A businessman from Ilfracombe remarked, "Business has been steady so far but I think we'll close this afternoon – mainly because I want to go out and play"

History and Heritage

On the West Exmoor Coast, North Devon Coast and its estuaries, old lime kilns still remain as a reminder of the heating of coal and limestone, brought across the Bristol channel. Lime counteracted the acidity of the soil and so was used in agriculture and also in mortar and lime wash for buildings. The railways came to Devon in the 19th century offering opportunities to transport freight and goods as well as bringing tourists to the area. Some of the old lines are now disused and are used as cycling and walking trails. The Tarka Trail still operates as a local service between Barnstaple and Exeter.

Arts and Culture
Gardens are open to visit in North Devon, ranging from those owned by National organisations, such as the Royal Horticultural Society or the National Trust, to smaller privately owned gardens that only open in the Summer. Very often the gardens have good tea rooms and can be ideal places to stop for lunch or afternoon tea. They may also feature exhibitions by local artists. experienceDevon can add these visits into your itinerary if gardens appeal and you wish to learn about local plants and garden birds on your vacation. North Devon is also full of historic houses, churches and old country pubs dating from the 13th Century and onwards and these can be seen whilst following town and historic trails. experienceDevon can add exploring some of these to your itinerary and help you to see some of the wonderful old buildings. Some of these are open in September, as part of the annual Heritage Open Days. North Devon’s many Museums will also provide the visitor with agricultural, maritime, social and cultural history.
Farmers markets take place in historic Pannier markets and outdoor venues year round, but are more plentiful in the summer months. These can be found in many towns and farmers and local makers bring their own produce – a delicious and environmentally conscious way to shop for local cheeses, cream and butter; home made jams and chutneys; pies, pasties and baked goods; meat and fish; fruit, vegetables and plants.
