Overview

This is a beautiful and very dramatic coastal walk. It will be strenuous but very rewarding with amazing views (on a good day!).

We will start from Hunter’s Inn at 10.30 from the National Trust Car Park (pay and display / free to members, toilets available) and make our northerly way towards the coast via the King Charles III coast path with the river Heddon to our left, ascending and then bearing east in the direction of Great Burland Rocks.

We then walk towards Woody Bay and Lee Abbey, through the Valley of Rocks, then hugging the coast and arriving in Lynton where we will have lunch. There are places here to buy food and drink if required.

After lunch, we’ll wander west through the village towards some old quarries, through pleasant woodland and pick up the path in the direction of South Cleave and Six Acre Wood. We then head towards Croscombe Farm and Slattenslade. At Slattenslade, we head north east to join the Heddon Valley - Woody Bay path which takes us back past a Roman Fortlet and then back to Hunter’s Inn.
