Still looking for an affordable holiday? I thought I would start to show you some of the places you could visit when you stay here with us at the Baptist Holiday Apartments. What a beautiful day out and all by bus for just £4.00 return. My starting point Minehead...heading to Ilfracombe on one of our country's most scenic bus the routes. We will be heading to the pretty village of Porlock, where the semi open top bus will climb one of the steepest hill in Britain - it's a bit hairy at times, but when you reach the top it's well worth it! The bus will take you over the exmoor hills and through Lorna Doone countryside. Look out for the smallest listed building in the country on the left hand side of the bus, it's a small hut 🛖 or maybe you'll spot some exmoor ponies. Next, look out for a pretty little church on Countisbury Hill to the right with the Blue Ball Inn on the left...they serve fabulous food there! Next we travel through Lynmouth and Lynton (two of my favourite places to look around) however I'll stop there on another trip, but not today. We'll then head towards Woody Bay where there's a miniature gauge railway. After this we head into the beautiful open countryside. Next you'll want to look out for the Dinosaur and Wildlife Park  on the left of the bus, just outside Combe Martin. Then through the longest continuous street which stretches for a whopping 2 miles. Nearly there now, passing through Hele bay on the right with it's pretty little pebble beach. Then on into Ilfracombe. What's there you may ask? It's a pretty fishing village with a statue called Verity by  Damien Hirst - she stands tall and is like a goddess. There is an aquarium although very small and there's St. Nicholas's Church high on the hill which is well worth a visit although you'll have to be fit to get up there though. The Beaches tunnels are beautiful but you'll have to pay a little to go on them. Back in the victorian times there was a mens beach and a ladies beach fortunately anyone can go on them these days. You'll be able to choose one of many boat trips on offer at the quayside. I went on a 2 hour one a few years ago and the crew were very knowledgeable and made it very interesting. You will also find a theatre, very pretty walks, a beach all but stoney but very beautiful in its own way, you'll also find many shops bars restaurants, the list goes on and on. We would love to see you! We still have some availability due to last minute cancellations.
