Spring in Torridge

Activities

Spring adds new life with lambs, bunnies, and other wildlife. Head to an attraction such as the Big Sheep for animal activities. Or you can spot them at the Northam Burrows Country Park and working farms around the region. 

The coast path comes alive in Spring with a wealth of wildflowers, particularly around Hartland Abbey and Brownsham. Great Torrington is another great destination for spring walks. Park at the Commons and wander through the woodland gardens.

Easter is a great time to enjoy some family fun- from guided walks at the Northam Burrows Visitor centre to the Easter chick hunt in Clovelly. Hartland Abbey also host a range of events including Easter egg hunts and wildflower events.

Wildlife

In March and April, many of Torridge’s woodlands are filled with a carpet of bluebells. This wildflower attracts many pollinating insects, bringing a buzz of life. Head to Brownsham Woods to experience the blue carpet at its best!

One of Torridge’s most iconic species, the puffin or the ‘clown of the coast’, live in burrows at the top of Lundy’s cliffs. We are lucky to have a large colony between April and September making Lundy worth a visit!
