Overview
A small beachfront village set along the captivating North Devon coast in England, Combe Martin is known for its stunning coastline and rolling countryside. Meandering coastal walks like the iconic South West Coast Path lead adventurers past rocky cliffs and sandy beaches, where shimmering waters offer bountiful sea fishing and kayaking. The expansive Exmoor National Park and North Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty envelop this region, presenting even more moorland and seafront. From the valley of Combe Martin, stay at holiday parks offering everything from traditional tent pitches and caravan camping to glamping spots that combine coastal splendour with the rustic charm of traditional English countryside.
Where to go
Combe Martin Beach
Combe Martin Beach lets campers experience North Devon’s coastal allure first-hand. After settling into a seaside holiday park around Newberry Valley, with tent pitches and family-friendly caravan sites, relax on a leisurely beach stroll or try fishing for local bass, pollack, and flounder. Head to nearby Ilfracombe to charter a boat out to deeper waters to catch conger eel, tope, and ray. While there, explore Tunnels Beaches with tidal pools and sheltered swimming areas.
Exmoor National Park
Featuring expansive hilly moorland and steep wooded valleys, Exmoor National Park is home to spectacular vantage points over fast-flowing rivers and the Bristol Channel. Stay at rustic campsites for caravans and motorhomes in the middle of nature, or set up camp at more developed holiday parks near charming villages with fancier amenities. Then go out and explore the diverse landscape by hiking the South West Coast Path and Two Moors Way. Take the Dunkery Beacon Circular Walk to the summit for panoramic views across the park. On-site stables offer horseback riding for guided tours around Exmoor, too.
North Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
Back along the western coast, North Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is made up of dramatic coastline and hinterland. Campers will find cliffs near beautiful beaches, perfect for surfing, paddleboarding, and sea fishing. Areas around Croyde and Woolacombe offer great views of crashing sea waves for those staying at holiday parks with static caravan hires or lodges. Hartland Devon Heritage Coast also has some of the most dramatic coastline in the area, and offers secluded campsites and tent pitches for those seeking a quieter escape.
When to go
The temperate maritime climate of North Devon is relatively mild. Overnight lows approach freezing in winter with heavier rainfall from Atlantic storms. As a result, camping near Combe Martin is generally more comfortable from late spring to early autumn, when temperatures approach the low-20s during the day. While summer is sunniest, the coastal location means many days may be overcast, and campers should prepare for the possibility of rain year-round.
