About

Ilfracombe West encompasses the town's historic harbour and its surrounding coastal slopes. The working port remains active with fishing vessels and seasonal ferries to Lundy Island. Steep streets lined with Georgian and Victorian buildings climb away from the waterfront, leading up to the dramatic headland.

The area is defined by its coastal path, which offers direct access to the rugged cliffs and rock formations of the Capstone Hill area. The landmark of Verity, a towering bronze statue by Antony Gormley, stands at the harbour's mouth facing the Bristol Channel. This is a functional maritime district with a mix of seasonal tourism and local fishing trade.
