Croyde Village dates back to pre Saxon times and is one of the prettiest villages in Devon with many thatched cottages. Croyde is named after the Norse Raider Crydda who landed in Croyde Bay, and each year the village celebrates its Viking origins with a Viking Festival held in June.

The village is well known for its ice cream and clotted cream shops, and there are many cafes and pubs serving traditional fayre. Croyde is also home to the Rock and Gem Museum which contains a unique collection of rocks, gems and shells from all over the world. Croyde is very popular with surfers, who visit from near and far to experience the world renowned breakers to be found in the bay.
