Beaches & Coast Path

Situated right on the border of North Devon and North Cornwall, Town Farm is perfectly placed for coastal adventures along the stunning South West Coast Path. Whether you're in search of wide sandy beaches, hidden coves, or dramatic clifftop walks, you'll be spoilt for choice.

We’ve put together a list of our favourite local beaches - most are dog-friendly all year round, but a few have seasonal restrictions (usually between May and September), so please check before you go.
