More about this scene
Wildersmouth Bay was the original bathing beach of the town; those beaches to the west only became accessible after the drafting in of Welsh miners to dig the tunnels by which they are now reached. The bay became the site in 1867 of the Ilfracombe Hotel, a Gothic revival edifice in yellow brick, which was demolished in 1976.
