Workshops The local area How to get here The local area Yomer Wood is found in Lee, a small valley on the North Devon coast between the Victorian seaside town of Ilfracombe and the stunning surfing beach of Woolacombe. Lee is designated an area of outstanding natural beauty, and North Devon is the perfect place for outdoor pursuits like long-distance walking, cycling or surfing. Situated in what’s known locally as the Fuschia Valley, on account of the beautiful flowers that fill the village hedgerows, Lee is a picturesque coastal village and a perfect place to stop off for a short stay or as part of a longer Devon holiday. Below is a list of some of the places you might like to visit on your trip! The Grampus Inn The Grampus Inn is run by friendly landlord Bill and is a 10 minute walk down the valley, serving locally-sourced food as well as a selection of regional ales and now boasting its own in house brewery. Open Monday-Friday 11am-3pm, 6pm-late and Saturday-Sunday 11am-midnight, Bill runs a popular open mic night every Friday evening from around 9pm.
