The South West Coast path takes in Hartland Point and Speke’s Mill Mouth. There’s the lighthouse, Hartland Abbey and an iconic radar station in the area too, so it’s quite a spot to explore. It’s rural Devon at its very best.

A bus service provides access to North Devon’s ‘capital’, Barnstaple. Bus users can also reach Westward Ho!, Bideford, Braunton, Appledore, Croyde and Ilfracombe.
