This is exciting 🤩
If you've stayed with us in the last year or two you will be aware of the new Watersports Hub with the lovely cafe above it, just down the hill from us.

Water activities such as coasteering, kayaking, open water swimming and paddleboarding are among the exciting adventures on offer from H2Outdoor, Active Escape Adventure and Coastal Swim Coaching, you can also use the slipway to launch your own non-powered craft. The Lime Kiln Café & Bar at Ilfracombe Watersports Hub offers lovely food and drink looking out over the harbour. All of these are group-friendly and the cafe welcomes dogs.

It's on the site of an old lime kiln, and a new viewing and seating area is being constructed on top of the kiln. It'll be a lovely place to sit with a drink or book and look out over the harbour including Damien Hirst's striking statue Verity.

There will be contractors at Ilfracombe Watersports Hub from Monday (5 February) working on the top of the site's old lime kiln to add a viewing and seating area which will look across to the harbour.

While these works are being done in accordance with the original planning permission, we have also submitted a planning application which, if granted, will allow us to add a bridge link between the kiln and the balcony of the Lime Kiln Café.

We hope all works will be completed by Easter to allow all those using the hub to benefit from the amazing vantage point.
