Ilfracombe has an enviable reputation and is often referred to as the 'jewel in the crown' of North Devon being the major tourist centre for the region.
In recent years the well know artist Damien Hirst has given on loan a statue called 'Verity' to the town and this has attracted many thousands of day visitors to the area.
