North Devon has so much to offer all ages. Pickwell Barton cottages are perfectly positioned to have as your base when exploring this amazing region. A short walk from Pickwell Barton cottages, via the farms private access, are Putsborough & Woolacombe Beaches (Voted Best Beach in Britain for the second year running by TripAdvisor). They form an unbroken 3 mile stretch of golden sands and are just breath-taking.. North Devon is known as “England’s adventure coast”for a very good reason and we are located at its heart. Holidaying in North Devon is an adventure in the making. We happily will tell you it rains sometimes in Devon, that’s why we have such an unspoilt natural environment that is able to offer a very special experience for the whole family whatever the weather.
