Nearest beaches

There are a couple of beaches you can walk to from the cottage - both of which are a bit of hike regardless of starting point so can be a way of getting away from crowds
You can walk round to this little beach when the tide is out or by the road when in.

Beaches - a bit further afield

Our favourite beach - long, sandy with dunes - good for walking, swimming, surfing. A cafe at each end both with great views (see food beyond Combe Martin) and takeaway cafe above the dunes.

Beyond Combe Martin - Sights

Stunning and unusual scenery. About a 30 minute drive from Combe Martin. Take the toll road via Woody Bay for a lovely winding coastal road. Visit Mother Meldrums (see cafes for info) for a great cream tea with a view! If you have time it is worth continuing a little further up the road to Lynton and Lynmouth - see below.
Lots to see and do here. Take a walk around the harbour , Capstone, chapel hill or up to the Torres. Take a boat trip or have a game of crazy golf. And of course eat ice cream or fish and chips!

This park is a little known gem, with a boating lake, sensory garden, tennis courts, tea room (see food and drink) and children’s play area. It’s a lovely place to wander round, listening to the sound of running water wherever you go.

Just a few minutes on from the Valley of the Rocks, Lynton is a lovely little town with nice cafes and shops. Take a walk down the winding path to Lynmouth below. A picturesque little coastal and riverside town also with some good cafes and shops. If you are too tired to make the climb back up you can take the cliff railway which is quite good fun!

Easy(ish) walks

Stunning views and interesting rocky landscape. Great at sunset! Park in Mortehoe and follow the path to the point. Fairly straightforward - takes about 30 mins one way. Not too much up and down. For a great view of the rocks and a slightly more challenging walk approach the point from above walking up and over the rocks.
