Spekes Mill Mouth Waterfall

View of Screda Point

Highlight • Viewpoint

The sharks teeth stretching out into the sea are easily recognisable as Screda Point. Take a close look as you may see climbers hanging onto the cliff faces.

Hartland Quay

Highlight • Viewpoint

Hartland Quay was once full of indutsrial bustle with the importing of coal, lime and slate and exporting of grain by sea. It is a world away from the peace and tranquility now on the South West Coast Path.

The disused quay buildings are now a hotel and a pub. With sea and cliff views it's a wonderful place to stop off on a walk or start out.

You can also see Lundy Island from here. A designated marine nature reserve where you can head for day trips.

Dyer's Lookout

Highlight • Natural

Dyer's Lookout looks out across Blegberry Beach and Blegberry Cliffs towards Gull Rock and Damehole Point. There are climbing routes here, although perhaps not for long with erosion scratching the coastline away.

View of Hartland Point Lighthouse

Highlight • Viewpoint

Hartland Point is the northwesternmost point in the Devon region. Numerous ships are shattered here on the cliffs. It is said that if Satan comes to earth one day to get his souls, he will start here first. At the top of the parking lot is a good cafe.

View of Eldern Point

Highlight • Historical Site

Here you can enjoy wonderful views over the dramatic and rugged coastline near Eldern Point in North Devon.

Eldern Point is infamous because on January 22, 1943, an American Airforce Liberator (B-24D) crashed here due to bad weather and poor visibility. The entire crew was killed, and the deceased were initially believed to have died in operations over Germany. In 1948, seven of the aircrew were returned to the USA, while the remaining three were reburied in the Cambridge American Cemetery.
