10 Apr Discover the North Devon Biosphere

If you’re planning a getaway to North Devon and wondering about attractions and things to do, you must visit the North Devon Biosphere. The Biosphere offers an enriching experience for nature enthusiasts and adventure-seekers and is right on your doorstep at North Devon Resort, as we’re within the Biosphere area. 

What is the North Devon Biosphere? 

The North Devon UNESCO Biosphere is an important meeting place of rich natural and cultural heritage in a stunning, diverse landscape. Designated by UNESCO as a Biosphere Reserve in 2021, it is a testament to the region’s ecological richness and commitment to sustainable development. 

This protected area spans over 100 square miles and encompasses diverse landscapes, including ancient woodland, pristine beaches and dramatic cliffs. From the red deer of Dartmoor, along meandering rivers and past historic coastal communities, to the diversity of the marine environment stretching beyond Lundy Island, the UNESCO biosphere celebrates life by recognising the connections between people and nature. It’s no wonder it attracts over five million visitors every year. 

Exploring Nature 

Visitors can embark upon a journey through the Biosphere and immerse themselves in its beauty—hike along rugged coastal trails, where breathtaking views are everywhere. Wander through woodlands teeming with wildlife, from elusive red deer to rare and plentiful bird species. 

By the coast, the Biosphere has crystal-clear waters and hidden coves. Visitors can take a dip in the sea or even try surfing on some of the area’s renowned surfing beaches, such as Woolacombe Bay. 

Benefits of Self-Catering Accommodation

After a busy day exploring the Biosphere, returning to the comforts of North Devon Resort offers the perfect blend of relaxation and convenience. Our self-catering accommodation provides a home away from home, allowing guests to unwind in spacious living areas with modern amenities.
