On a narrow strip of land beneath the wooded hillside and golden sands of Bideford Bay, lies this wonderful little seaside resort that has been a popular family holiday destination since Victorian times.
The village is fronted by over two miles of golden sand and is protected by the famous pebble ridge and long promenade. Behind the pebble ridge lies the Northam Burrows Country Park, with nearly 1000 acres of common ground to explore. To the west of the village you will find wonderful scenic walks too. All the traditional seaside attractions you would expect are situated on the promenade and within the village, which provides a vibrant atmosphere and happy bustling shopping centre. Westward Ho! has a large choice of varied holiday accommodation and is ideally situated close to the many wonderful attractions that North Devon has to offer.
