Day 2

Travel via Fairy Cross to Hartland Abbey & Gardens, used as a filming location for many films and TV series such as Sense & Sensibility and BBC Top Gear. Hartland Abbey remains in the family and is not merely ‘a museum’ as so many ancestral homes are today. It exudes the warmth and friendliness only found in a lived-in house. Enjoy a leisurely walk around the house and gardens. Afterwards to charming Barnstaple, the largest town in North Devon, located on the River Taw. The ancient town preserves a mediaeval character, points of interest, include the historic Pannier Market, a wide range of stalls offer everything from local produce, flowers and crafts, to fashion, prints and pictures.
