The Waterfront Inn to Northam Burrows Route Guide

Northam Burrows Country Park is approximately 0.5 miles from The Waterfront Inn, Westward Ho!, although the boundary of the country park begins even closer to the hotel, meaning guests can step onto the Burrows within just a couple of minutes' walk. This remarkable coastal landscape extends across more than 600 acres of sand dunes, salt marshes and open grazing land, forming part of the UNESCO North Devon Biosphere Reserve and a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest. The reserve is renowned for its spectacular scenery, abundant wildlife and extensive network of level walking trails, while the distinctive Pebble Ridge and the historic Royal North Devon Golf Club, the oldest golf course in England, add to the area's unique character.

Staying at The Waterfront Inn places one of North Devon's finest natural attractions virtually on your doorstep. From the hotel it's an easy stroll onto the Burrows before continuing to the golden sands of Westward Ho! Beach or following the South West Coast Path towards Appledore and the Taw and Torridge Estuary. Along the way you'll enjoy panoramic views across Bideford Bay, opportunities to spot a wide variety of birdlife and some of the best coastal sunsets in the region. Whether you're planning a gentle walk, a family day out, wildlife watching or simply looking to experience the unspoilt beauty of the North Devon coastline, Northam Burrows offers an unforgettable outdoor experience just moments from The Waterfront Inn.
