There are schools for all ages, a health care centre, cottage hospital, theatre, post office and a bank. The picturesque seafront and harbour has further shops, bars and some fantastic restaurants. Watermouth Beach and the famous Victorian handcrafted Tunnels Beach are along the Esplanade which leads to the harbour area. The renowned artist Damien Hirst's influence can be felt by the addition of many art galleries which have appeared over recent years, together with his majestic 60' tall 'Verity' statue at the harbour mouth. Barnstaple, North Devon's main trading centre is approximately 12 miles away with many of the big name shops and rail link to the intercity network at Tiverton.
