View from Holdstone Down, Exmoor - looking back at Heddon Mouth
Ilfracombe isn’t necessarily the destination, it’s just a great drive. Approx. 1 hour This drive hugs the coast, as much as possible, and offers some incredible scenery. It’s worth mentioning that some of the roads, in true South West tradition, are very narrow and some rather hair-raising! There are plenty of places to pull over

Southcliffe to Lee Bay Lynton | Highcliffe House B&B
A fantastic walk with stunning views of the Valley of Rocks, Lee Abbey and the Bristol Channel. Not many people take the chance to do this walk, but I promise you it’s stunning.  Start by walking towards the Valley of Rocks, but veer off before you get there.  The start of this walk is moderately steep
