Overview

A circular walk on & around Selworthy Beacon & Bossington Hill. Leaving the National Trust Car Park in the village of Selworthy we head north, by the edge of Selworthy Combe, ascending to reach the trig point on Selworthy Beacon (308m). We then head West, along the ridge, with panoramic views (on a clear day) towards Bossington Hill (243m). We then make a gradual descent around the headland to Church Combe before entering the woods of Allerford Plantation at Lynch Combe. We then follow an undulating path through the woodlands to Agnes Fountain and back to the NT village of Selworthy.
