Combe Martin to Woolacombe
Difficulty: Challenging. This is a truly spectacularly wild and beautiful section of the South West Coast Path, which includes some easy cliff paths across farmland around Ilfracombe and Woolacombe and some more strenuous ascents, especially between Lee Bay and Morte Point. The area around Morte is designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest for its beautiful maritime heathland and grasses.

Baggy Point Circular Walk
Difficulty: Easy. This short circular walk along the western flank of Baggy Point will reward you with far-reaching coastal, sea and farmland views. It's also an excellent place to see wild flowers and for a spot of bird-watching. The area is designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) for its geological features.

Lynton/Lynmouth to Combe Martin
Difficulty: Strenuous. This is part of R. D. Blackmore's Lorna Doone territory and the landscape is so extraordinary that legend has explained its origin as the acts of the Devil. From here there are some challenging climbs, including reaching the highest point of the South West Coast Path, and lovely views along beautiful stretches following the edge of the land, away from civilisation.
