Events in Martinhoe | 10 Places to Stay
The parish and village of Martinhoe sit high on the cliff tops overlooking
the North Devon coast. Its elevated vantage point offers some of the most
scenic and breathtaking views of this beautiful part of England. The
hog-backed cliffs below are a feature of this part of the British coastline.
Steep and rocky cliffs provide great climbing opportunities and have long
been favourites with experienced climbers who enjoy the challenge of the
irregular and rugged cliff faces. There is evidence that the area was once
an important Roman settlement and site of a signal point from where they
kept a watch out for invaders. The village of Martinhoe itself is sparsely
populated, but there are many excellent places to stay including holiday
cottages and B&B’s. The Old Rectory is a welcoming hostelry housed in a
converted 19th Century rectory. While “Hoe” Means “High ground
overlooking the sea”, it is not from the village church of St. Martin or
the powerful Martin family who once owned the parish that the village gets
its name, but from a prominent Saxon called “Matta”. Like much of this
part of Devon, the area is popular with walkers and those who appreciate its
apparent remoteness.
