"Found in the town of Ilfracombe, the Tunnels Beaches are unique. Originally a historic Victoria bathing bath, the shingle beach has a ringed rock formation that creates a natural swimming pool, with the rocks separating the still water from the sea. To get to the beach requires walking through the cliff, using the large hand-carved tunnel."

"With its cliffside settings and dramatic coast, Tunnels and Ilfracombe Beaches might be pebbly but they’re totally pristine. Not only that, there’s a Victorian bathing pool that’s filled with the incoming tidal waters. Even on a not-so-sunny day, this is one of the best things to do in Ilfracombe for a little stroll."

"At the harbour entrance is one of a couple of Ilfracombe landmarks that everybody has an opinion about. Verity, by the world-famous sculptor and installation artist Damien Hirst, was erected in October 2012 and is typically uncompromising.

The other side of Verity shows the exposed muscles and the fetus in her womb and it’s pretty impressive to see."
