Where is Bideford Bay Park

Bucks Mills
A small village of whitewashed houses on a hill leading down to the seashore. For many centuries the village relied on fishing for its survival, this activity was largely the domain of just one large Buck's Mill family, the Braunds. At the bottom of the hill there is a shingle beach where a waterfall tumbles down the cliff and an old kiln remains.
The 'Old Mill' tea rooms are worth a visit and are within meters of the beach. There are beautiful views across Bideford Bay towards Baggy Point and Wales.


Westward Ho!
Westward Ho! is known for its surfing seas and the long expanse of clean sand backed by a pebble ridge which extends for about three miles. A magnificent and enormous sandy beach ( but check the tide times)
It is also known for the Royal North Devon Golf Club, the oldest golf course in England and Wales. Other attractions of the town include the arcades, go-kart track and the grasslands behind the pebble ridge. It has two churches, Westward Ho! Baptist Church & The Holy Trinity Church.
Rudyard Kipling spent several of his childhood years at Westward Ho!, where he attended the United Services College.

Sandymouth Bay
Sandymouth is a beach three miles to the north of Bude, Cornwall, England. It is a National Trust property. The beach has spectacular cliffs and rock formations, and has a broad sandy beach below the cliffs. The beach lies between two headlands, Steeple Point and Menachurch Point, close to the small settlement of Houndapit.
The seabed off the coast of Sandymouth Beach slopes sharply, and as a result the beach has a strong surf. The area around Bude has a long history of surfing, and Sandymouth Beach is one of the most popular surfing beaches on the north Cornwall coast.
It is situated approx. 12 miles away, from the chalet, towards Bude.

Bude
Bude is a small resort town and watering-place in Cornwall, England, UK, on the north coast at the mouth of the river Neet.
Notable buildings include the Early English parish church in the village of Poughill just outside of Bude, the parish church of St Michael and All Angels, Ebbingford Manor, and the town's oldest house, Quay cottage in the centre of town. Bude Canal, which once ran to Launceston, now runs only a few miles inland.


Instow
Instow is a village in north Devon (a county of South West England). It is near the end of the River Torridge, between the villages of Westleigh and Yelland and on the opposite bank of Appledore. It has a famous railway signal box, recently rebuilt and has a small river beach, popular to hundreds of tourists in the summer. Also home to many pubs and restaurants, Instow is increasing it's appeal to leisure seekers. The Decks restaurant, having appeared twice in the good food guide, brings many people to the area where as "The Boathouse", another popular seafood eatery, offers real ales amongst other drinks. The Tarka Trail runs through Instow, providing an easy means for people to arrive by foot or on bike.
Home to fantastic sand dunes and some rare species of orchid including the pyramid orchid, Instow offers some fantastic sights.


Widemouth Bay
Widemouth Bay is a bay and beach on the coast of Cornwall, approximately 3 miles south of Bude. This stretch of coast is steeped in the smuggling history of times before, and not far south of Widemouth bay can be found many little inlets and coves. Widemouth Bay is visually very similar to Southerndown and Ogmore-by-Sea across the Bristol Channel in Wales; it has the same (gently sloping) hill-top location; wide, sandy beach; pounding atlantic surf; and significantly the same carboniferous sandstone cliffs. Another significant connection is that sloops from Wales would use Widemouth as a port (in the most basic sense), unloading coal and limestone; sloops would take back to Wales cornish wares such as granite, slate, tin, copper and even Cornish pasties!
