Explore Local Talent at the Lee Bay Arts & Crafts Fair
Just a short drive from Lower Campscott Farm, the peaceful village of Lee is a wonderful destination for a relaxed day out. Each summer, Lee Bay hosts its popular Arts & Crafts Fair, bringing together local creatives and visitors in a friendly, laid-back setting.
Held in Lee’s Memorial Hall, the fair features a wide variety of handmade goods, from paintings and pottery to jewellery, textiles and woodwork. Many of the artists take their inspiration from the surrounding coast and countryside, making the fair a great place to pick up a unique keepsake from your North Devon holiday.
Stop for a Drink or Lunch at The Grampus
Just a few steps from the hall, you’ll find The Grampus Inn, a much-loved local pub with bags of character. Located in a 14th-century building that once served as the village vicarage, it’s an ideal spot for:
A pint of locally brewed beer (they have their own small brewery)
A hearty pub lunch
A cream tea or slice of homemade cake
With a cosy interior and a welcoming atmosphere, it’s a great place to relax and soak up village life. The pub also hosts regular music nights, and you might find live folk or acoustic sets on during your visit.
Discover the Beauty of Lee Bay
After visiting the fair and enjoying a bite to eat, take a stroll down to Lee Bay, a small, scenic cove framed by wooded hills and rocky cliffs. This peaceful spot is perfect for:
Rockpooling at low tide
