Ilfracombe is a seaside resort on the north coast of Devon, England with a small harbour, surrounded by cliffs. The town stretches along the coast from 'The Coastguard Cottages' in Hele Bay toward the east and 6 km along The Torrs to Lee Bay toward the west. The landmark of Hillsborough Hill dominates the harbour and is the site of an Iron Age Celtic fortress. The town has been a multi-winner of Britain in Bloom, with charming floral displays adorning streets and seafront. From the natural harbour surrounded by attractive coves, visitors can hire pleasure crafts for trips to Lundy Island. Overlooking the seafront is the Landmark Theatre, with an all year round programme of entertainment. There is also a museum displaying old and interesting local artefacts and photographs. Two hills overlook Ilfracombe – Hillsborough and Lantern. Nature loving ramblers can use Ilfracombe as a base for walking the Torrs Walk, accepted as one of the finest walks in England
