About the activity:
The North Devon and its Culm Coast is unique in its geology and feels very different to South Devon and Cornwall coast paths. The coastline is very varied between Minehead and Bude where Exmoor plunges hundreds of feet into the sea. The rocky coast is interspersed with sandy coves from Ilfracombe to Bideford, where the path rises and falls drastically as you go onto Clovelly and Heartland with the amazing shear slides of rock tilted up out of the seabed. Marvel at some of Devon’s most adventurous sea cliff climbing spots, while kestrels hover overhead and seals play in the kelp-filled sea gullies. We can organise and guide any sections of this dramatic coastline in a day or multi-day adventure.
EXAMPLES:
- Porlock to Lynmouth
- Lynton to Combe Martin via the Valley Of The Rocks

Physicality:
The level of walk you wish to take will be discussed with you and tailored to your requirements as far as possible. Much of the Devonshire coast is hilly and can be muddy, slippery and uneven underfoot. The length in distance will depend on the exact route taken, and we will keep the pace at a level to suit you, so that you can enjoy the sights along the way, whilst bearing in mind the ground that needs to be covered (short cuts may be possible if needs be).
Previous experience:
Previous walks on hilly and uneven ground, taking in several miles would be helpful (although not necessary), as would well worn-in walking boots.
