Boat Trips
Boat trips
Enjoying the coast without the exercise or map reading! Boats leave Ilfracombe three times a week to Lundy Island. Not only does this give passengers a marvellous view of the North Devon coast (including Southcliffe Hall!), it is also the only way to get to this small island owned by the National Trust and managed by the Landmark Trust. The island is an offshore haven for birdlife such as puffins, and wild ponies and seals. Shorter boat trips leave Ilfracombe along the coast, in summer months on the old paddle steamer, the Waverley.
