A charming traditional market town, Holsworthy can be found in a quaint, unspoilt corner of North Devon and makes for an ideal place to relax and enjoy some truly beautiful scenery. With a rich history stretching behind it and all the warmth and character you would expect, it’s easy to see why Holsworthy is a popular place to spend a few days. Whether you’re after winter walks with leaves crunching underfoot or sunny summer afternoons spent exploring the glorious countryside, you’re sure to find it in this cosy little town.

Only 9 miles up the road is the famous town of Bude, with its warm, sun kissed beaches and its coves perfect for a variety of watersports. A number of attractions will keep the kids amused, with a curious Gnome Reserve, a museum and a number of car museums and military vehicle collections all within a short drive.

Locally sourced meats, game and fish can be found at a number of great restaurants and the pannier market in the town, while the Ruby Country initiative has provided the perfect way to walk, cycle or horse ride your way around the striking local countryside. Timing your visit well could allow you to enjoy one of the many events held in and around the town, from carnivals to Vintage Car rallies and the annual St. Peters Fair week.
