Quick Facts

History & Context

Ilfracombe’s Pretty Fishing Harbour North Devon’s coastline is well known for its outstanding landscape, wildlife value and popularity with visitors. But more than that, the undeveloped coastline has been recognised as being either nationally or internationally important; much of it has been designated either Heritage Coast, a Site of Special Scientific Interest, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty or a Local Nature Reserve. So when the North Devon Heritage Coast Service was launched in 1993, it was a natural progression to persuade people to look further than the cliff edge - to the sea and the marine world within it.
