All of this and more awaits during your stay at Monkleigh Mill.

North Devon's Bideford is a historic port city located on the River Torridge. Bideford has been home to a town for more than a thousand years, and it has always been a significant port. Today, Bideford is a flourishing community with a nice assortment of stores (including independent retailers), cafes, and restaurants, as well as a park and the nearby Atlantic Village Outlet Shopping Center. It's a great idea to visit the region around Bideford. It is not far from Westward Ho! which boasts a two-mile stretch of breathtaking beach and consistently earns the famous Blue Flag distinction. Its exceptional pebble ridge-backed sandy beach draws tourists from all over the nation with its outstanding bathing and watersports opportunities. Northam Burrows Country Park, which is located in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and contains 253 hectares of grassy coastal plain with salt marsh, sand dunes, and grasslands, is just beyond the pebble ridge. The oldest golf course in England is located in the national park. Both the well-known Tarka Trail and the South West Coastal Path are nearby, offering wonderful opportunities for biking and strolling. One mile down the road are the award-winning Big Sheep all-weather family attraction and the Ultimate Adventure Center, and two miles distant are the Atlantic Village Outlet Shopping Center and Supermarket. Appledore, a charming quayside village, and Instow, a gorgeous beach, are both just over three miles apart. Barnstaple, a historic market town, is only 10 miles away, while Clovelly, a scenic seaside village with charming cobbled streets, is eleven miles away. Numerous magnificent beaches may be found along the North Devon coast, including those at Instow, Saunton Sands, Croyde, Woolacombe, and Bude. There is a lot to see and do here for people of all ages in a setting of spectacular beauty.
