About Ilfracombe

Ilfracombe perches dramatically on Devon's North Coast, where Victorian terraces tumble down steep cliffs toward natural harbors. The A361 from the M5 provides the main access, though it's a winding 14-mile journey including the challenging Portmore Hill. Approximately 30 fast EV chargers serve the area. The working harbor still sees fishing boats alongside Lundy Island ferries departing for the granite outcrop 12 miles offshore.
