A classic easy 2.5 mile circular walk along a relatively level section of the South West Coast Path between Lynton and the spectacular Valley of Rocks. As well as the stunning scenery, the Valley of Rocks are home to a herd of feral goats and the rare Exmoor pony.

Fabulous rocky outcrop that invites you to do a bit of "lite" climbing and jumping from rock to rock (this was more fun in my 20s than in my late 50s) Stunning views along the coastline and can walk back to Lynton/ Lynmouth from here to get the most of the scenery

We took the drive from Porlock to Oare and back to Brendon where we stopped for lunch and had a walk afterwards. With scenery which includes beautiful old bridges(robbers bridge)and the stream which seemed to be in every village we visited,the Doone Valley is a pleasant alternative to the A39. The entire area,which I had never heard of until shortly before we left,really impressed us all and it is highly likely we will revisit later in the week. Visited 9th July 2018.

Discovered this campsite this year. Love it!! Well run and friendly family run campsite. Really welcoming. We liked it so much we stayed twice in August. Great location. Welcomes dogs. Good walks through surrounding woodland to Porlock, Porlock Weir and the beach. We were in the second field which has a slope so if you're in a van (we were) you'll need blocks to level the van. This will definitely become a favourite place to visit.

Visited Brendan Manor as a group of four. We went on the pub ride which was an excellent day out. Charlie and Lara came out with us and made sure we had a great time with plenty of cantering, seeing beautiful scenery and even came across some Exmoor ponies. They were also lovely to talk to. Can’t wait to return!

Starting with a fabulous walk up the river to Watersmeet house, followed by easy to follow pathways up to the moors and along the cliff paths back to Lynmouth - stunning scenery all the way.

Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 122 reviews
A gentle 2 mile stroll on relatively level terrain along parts of the South West Coast Path through ancient woodland, along a babbling stream to a tiny secluded shingle beach strewn with boulders and shadowed by steep, scree-clad hillsides, with dramatic cliffs of geological importance and tales of smugglers and U-boats.

Beautiful spot, incredible views of the mountains and ocean, just nature at its best, we visited Heddon’s Mouth twice while staying at the Hunters Inn.
10. Watersmeet House
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 809 reviews
Where the lush valleys of Hoar Oak Water and the East Lyn river tumble together sits Watersmeet House, a 19th-century fishing lodge, now a National Trust shop, tea room and information point. Watersmeet House was built in 1832 as a fishing lodge by the Reverend W.S. Halliday, the son of a rich businessman. The stone for the house was quarried at Watersmeet, above the East Lyn River. Sitting in a beautiful wooded river valley, Watersmeet and its surrounds are a fantastic place to walk, and enjoy the abundant wildlife and nature of this part of Exmoor.
