Extreme Sports and Adventure Sports Activities in North Devon

 

Traffic Jams, Pollution and Stress aren’t part of the North Devon Rush Hour…!

In North Devon, our rush hour is all about adrenalin: working with the waves, being supported by the rocks, bumper to bumper with nature....

Our unique landscape provides a vast natural playground where you can try and perfect a huge variety of exciting, adrenalin-inducing extreme sports; Surfing, Kite Surfing, Sea Kayaking, Mountainboarding, Mountain Biking, Rock Climbing, Abseiling, Windsurfing… the list is endless!

North Devon is home to some of the UK’s best surfing beaches; World class Croyde Bay provides exceptionally powerful waves perfect for short boards and those who are more experienced; Saunton Sands provides more mellow conditions – ideal for beginners or long boarders.

The rolling waves and strong winds that come in from the Atlantic Ocean bring perfect kite surfing conditions to North Devon, bringing the skies alive with a myriad of shapes and colours. Kite Surfing is one of the fastest growing new water sports of the new millennium and North Devon provides an exceptional backdrop to this graceful yet powerful sport.

Of course, North Devon isn’t just about the water!  Out of the Ocean there are miles of exciting terrain and dramatic rock formations that are just begging to be explored!  Hartland Point is a particularly stunning spot for abseiling with sheer cliffs surrounded by beautiful waterfalls and woodlands.

We not only have the best natural playground in the country but we also have plenty of experts who are passionate about North Devon and the sports they excel in.  We have an abundance of qualified surf schools and award-winning activity centres and hire centres for you to choose from.

And when the sun goes down and you want to reflect on your exhilarating day, then North Devon continues to shine with its exceptional hospitality, food, accommodation and a warm welcome that is true Devon!

North Devon recently brought Surf to the City during our Rush Hour campaign.

We visited the bustling cities of London and Birmingham and brought along a Brush Board Surf Simulator – the only Brush Board machine in the UK – to give those in the city a taste of life by the Atlantic ocean!

We had a great time giving you a taster of North Devon's Rush Hour – which is fun, happy and chilled…!
