Key places to visit during your holiday are the harbour, with 14th century Quay and Chapel, the Victorian High Street, Fore Street (Alfred's original way to the sea) and the Sea-Front - which is dominated by the new Landmark Theatre, a premier entertainments venue. Nearby is the fascinating Ilfracombe Museum - well worth a visit. There is a spectacular walk to Ilfracombe through Hillsborough Nature Reserve - see if you can find secluded Rapparee beach on the way.
