- Join us for a walk in Westward Ho! North Devon, England. Our walk starts near the Westward Ho! Sea Pool. We walk along the seafront promenade, past the colourful beach huts, soaking up the glorious views of the beach and surrounding area. We check out some of Westward Ho! village, take a look at the Pebble Ridge Adventure Golf and Go Karts and finish our walk by Westward Ho! beach.
Westward Ho! is a seaside village near Bideford in Devon, England. Westward Ho! is the only town in the UK to have an exclamation mark as part of its name. The village name comes from the title of Charles Kingsley's novel Westward Ho! (1855), which was set in nearby Bideford. The book was a bestseller, and entrepreneurs saw the opportunity to develop tourism in the area, which led to the creation of Westward Ho!
Situated on the beautiful North Devon coast, Westward Ho! has over two miles of golden sand that has the prestigious Blue Flag award for facilities and water quality. The village has a wide selection of accommodation, including two popular holiday parks; Surfbay Holiday Park and Braddick's Holiday Centre. There are plenty of places to eat, things to do, great shops, amazing walks and wonderful nature. It is a perfect base for a holiday in North Devon due to it's central coastal position allowing easy access to explore the hidden beaches, history, towns, culture and other delights of North Devon.
Westward Ho! seafront, like most of the coast in this part of Devon, falls into the North Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and offers stunning views of the beautiful natural landscapes including cliffs, fields and an estuary. Westward Ho! is known for its surfing seas and the long expanse of clean sand backed by a pebble ridge and grasslands which extends for about three miles. Westward Ho! is popular with surfers, kayakers and paddle boarders.
Westward Ho! is also known for the Royal North Devon Golf Club, the oldest golf course in England and Wales. Other attractions of the village include the arcades, a go-kart track, adventure golf and the Rock Pool a seawater tidal swimming pool. Situated among the rocks on the southern end of Westward Ho! beach, this pool has been in existence for at least 120 years and was refurbished in 2015.
Rudyard Kipling spent several of his childhood years at Westward Ho! where he attended the United Services College. His collection of stories, Stalky & Co, published in 1899, was based on his experiences at the College. To commemorate his living there, the first stanza of his poem "If-" is set into the pavement on the promenade in granite setts.
