Devon

An overlooked coastal escape with beautiful cliffs to walk and sandy shoreline near the Cornwall–Devon border.

The author enjoyed slowing down and wandering around this hilltop village, easily reached by cliff railway from Lynmouth.

This small settlement just over the Devon border is suggested as a quiet stop during a coastal exploration.

Stop here when exploring the coast for a hot pasty or a homemade pie.

The author loved the delicious, fresh lunch at this Damien Hirst restaurant, where the walls display the artist's own work.

The author strongly praised this spectacular rocky valley, where a coastal path offers dramatic views and possible sightings of feral goats. The exposed heights may unsettle walkers even though the path is fairly wide.

A tiny village recommended as a stop while exploring the cliffs and beaches around the Hartland Heritage Coast.
