North Devon is well-known for its rugged coastline, stunning views and Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Its numerous beaches and surrounding countryside offer perfect opportunities for relaxation and tranquility, as well as active pursuits such as hiking, cycling, surfing and diving. The area consists of small rural villages, with neighbouring small market and coastal towns. Local employment is mainly in tourism and farming, but there is increasing diversification as more young families move into the area. There is a range of thriving primary schools, and a strong and vibrant local community.
