This 10-mile gem on the South West Coast Path is pure drama

North Devon’s Coastal Adventure

Clovelly to Hartland Quay: North Devon’s Coastal Adventure

This 10-mile gem on the South West Coast Path is pure drama—woodland wonders, rugged cliffs, and unbeatable views over the Atlantic.

Start in Clovelly

Picture-perfect cobbled streets tumbling toward the shingle beach—it’s like stepping into a postcard! From here, the path winds through ancient forest and peeks out near Mouth Mill, a hidden cove guarded by craggy headlands.

Cliffs, Radar Towers & Lighthouse Tales

Brace yourself for cliff-side climbs and drops near Hartland Point. A WWII radar station, sweeping viewpoints, and a 19th-century lighthouse—this stretch has all the coastal feels. The trail finishes at Hartland Quay, once a bustling port but now a place where time slows down and waves reign supreme.

Trail Highlights You’ll Love

– Secret beaches tucked below dramatic cliffs

– Historic radar relics straight out of wartime stories

– Ice cream pit stop near the lighthouse (because calories don’t count while hiking)

– A celebratory pint at Hartland Quay Hotel, or even better, a cozy overnight stay

Insider Tip:

Hartland Quay doesn’t do public transport, so line up a lift, a taxi, or channel your inner adventurer for the onward trek.
