    An absolute must-do is a trip to Lundy Island, just 24 miles off the coast from Ilfracombe, where the Atlantic Ocean meets the Bristol Channel. The island itself is 3 miles long by ½ mile wide and is inhabited by only 28 residents and an abundance of goats, hairy coos, seals, puffins, sika deer, black rabbits, as well as basking sharks in the water. It’s the perfect day trip for keen walkers and wildlife lovers. Book your ferry crossing from Ilfracombe.
