LEE BAY VILLAGE
Lee Bay is a peaceful village nestled between Woolacombe and Ilfracombe, located on the stunning North Devon coast. Surrounded by beautiful bluebell woodlands, it’s also known as Fuchsia Valley, named after the vibrant scarlet flowers that fill the valley each spring. The village is a charming collection of characterful stone cottages, St Matthew church, The Old Schoolroom - now a craft gallery & shop, and a welcoming pub.
For those who enjoy nature and history, Lee Bay is an ideal base. The village is tucked in a tranquil valley, surrounded by some of North Devon's most scenic coastline. A short walk will take you to the South West Coast Path, where you can explore rugged cliffs, discover hidden beaches, and spot local wildlife. The stretch of coast here is rich in history, with tales of shipwrecks and smuggling adding to its charm. Seals, dolphins, and seabirds are often spotted along this wild stretch of coastline.
In the heart of the village, you'll find the Grampus pub, a warm and inviting spot to enjoy a drink or meal. Serving delicious local food, craft ales, and cider, it’s a great place to unwind after a day of exploring. The pub also hosts live music sessions, creating a friendly, lively atmosphere.
Whether you're staying to explore the beautiful coastline and enjoy local activities, or just soaking in the natural beauty, Lee Bay provides the perfect setting for a family holiday.
