The official Tourist Information Centre for Barnstaple, the capital of North Devon. We offer comprehensive information on where to stay, what to do and where to go in North Devon

As the Tourist Information Centre in North Devon's premier town we have gathered a massive information resource to assist the tourist, this is so vast that it is now housed in a five-storey building in the centre of the town. However, our greatest asset is our staff - we have, between ourselves, over 50 years experience in this service: we have inspected over 1,000 places to stay, we have visited every attraction, every garden, historic house, pub and restaurant in North Devon, we have walked and cycled, surfed and sailed every part of the region's coast and country. Over the last 20 years, this service has dealt with nearly 2.5 million enquirers.
