Hartland Devon Heritage Coast — Attraction in Torridge District

Beautiful coastline with stunning cliffs and views of Lundy Island. The whole stretch of coastline is dog friendly up until westward Ho!. On low tide this stretch of coastline is perfect for lock pooling and snorkeling for those who are brave enough. When we went, we saw an eel, lots of dead spider crabs, normal common shore crabs, and other rock pool life.

I feel like philistine saying it but it's just not worth the bother. There are plenty of scenic villages in Devon that don't charge for the privilege of a...

Walked today 30/10/23, a 12 mile circular taking in Hartland Point and 6 miles South before returning via an inland route, absolutely wonderful. Not Sunny, not dry, not calm blue waters. It was damp, windy, the waves were crashing onto the rocks and cliffs, just another chapter of the North Devon coastline, as thrilling as the last one and as epic as the next. Always beautiful, whatever the weather, whatever the season, you feel alive and at one with nature and the sea. Sparrowhawk, Kestrel, Peregrine, and 2 lovely Horse Mushroom...
