Festive North Devon truly sparkles as we approach the Christmas season and New Year. Think bracing beach walks under big skies, twinkling harbour lights and that unmistakable feeling of Christmas magic in the sea air. From dazzling light trails and festive markets to cosy pubs and bracing New Year’s dips, there’s so much to see and do – whether you’re planning a pre-Christmas escape or a coastal celebration to ring in the New Year.
While Christmas and New Year at No. 9 Putsborough is fully booked (thank you lovely guests!), November and December are some of our favourite times to visit. The beaches are peaceful, the village glows with fairy lights and there’s a wonderful sense of anticipation in the air – the perfect time to retreat to the coast and soak up a little seasonal sparkle.
Here’s our handpicked guide to some of the most magical things to do in North Devon this festive season.
