This a great little loop on the South West Coast Path if you are ever in the area. Starts and finishes at the car park in the beautiful village of Mortehoe, Noth Devon. Outstanding views, and a breathtaking coastline. Takes in the Kinevor Valley, Bennett's Mouth, Bull Point lighthouse, Morte Point, and Combesgate Valley.
