A great walk to experience the beautiful North Devon coast at its best. Park in Morthoe and walk some of the South West Coast Path. This walk has great views of Woolacombe, Baggy Point and Lundy Island. Many people spot Grey Seals basking on the rocks below the path. Once back in Morthoe enjoy a well deserved Devon Cream Tea in one of the wonderful cafes. Take sturdy footwear and ensure to keep dogs on leads at all times.
Be aware that the path does go very close to cliff edges and crosses uneven terrain.
