The North Devon Focus has been developed
by Pat Adams who has lived in North Devon for over twenty years. In the
past she has worked freelance on established local business and tourism
based publications and co-ordinated the advertising sales and publication
of North Devon's No.1 Annual Holiday Magazine, the "North Devon Scene"
from 1989 to 2005. This web site is non-profit making and self-funded and
aims to promote the coast and "country" side around the Port of
Bideford paying particular attention to the many picturesque villages and
hamlets in the Torridge District and Bideford Bay area. We hope it will
encourage prospective visitors to the region and be of benefit to those
living locally. For the moment we have featured photo tours of Bideford,
Parkham and the surrounding areas including Abbotsham, Alwington, Horns
Cross, Ford & Fairy Cross, Buckland Brewer, Bucks Mills, Clovelly, Hartland
and Woolfardisworthy together with the popular tourist spots of Appledore,
Instow and Westward Ho! We intend to feature other areas at a later date
so please let us know if you would like your town or village to have
a page on this site. Working on a "Now and Then" theme we aim,
where possible, to include some historical information about the area as
well as promoting places of interest, activities, current local events and
community projects. Check out North
Devon Tourist Information to see just some the places to visit and things
to do. Without doubt, the best way to explore the area is to park the car
and walk, our page profiles have been designed as a "Coast & Country
Picture Tour" which we hope will reflect the individual charm of our
local villages and North Devon's unique heritage coastline. North Devon
is an area of outstanding natural beauty, a popular destination for families
and those who enjoy the great outdoors so we have also featured a number
of walks and nature trails including Exmoor National Park. We hope the site
will also be of educational interest and we will be featuring more areas
of special interest and images of seasonal flora and fauna. North Devon
is well known for its many traditional coast and country events and we hope
the special features on Appledore Arts Festival, Bideford Music Day, Woolsery
Fayre and the Woolsery Agricultural Show capture our wonderful
community spirit. We are continuing to develop this site with emphasis
on the area being an ideal base for touring North Devon so if you are an
accommodation provider make sure you are included
in the
North Devon Focus Places to Stay
listing. If you have a charity project, school or church fundraising
event post it free on the Coast and Country Chronicle "Community
Calendar" so everyone can read about it. You may also use this
free service when promoting live music events and art & craft exhibitions.
