Westward Ho has a long pebbled beach with a rugged coastline. Long
established as a holiday resort, Westward Ho has undoubtedly been
spoiled by the amusement centres and tacky holiday camps which have all
contributed to a run down and second rate holiday resort. This may
sound scathing but when you look around for websites expressing the
virtues of Westward Ho they are very hard to find.
The author Charles
Kingsley lived in North Devon and wrote his novel Westward Ho!. This
certainly placed Westward Ho on the map. In fact, the town was named
after the book!
Northam Burrows is
nearby and not as well known as Westward Ho but it is an excellent
stretch of unspoilt sands. A great place to escape away from it all.
