Hartland Quay

Highlight • Viewpoint

Hartland Quay was once full of indutsrial bustle with the importing of coal, lime and slate and exporting of grain by sea. It is a world away from the peace and tranquility now on the South West Coast Path.

The disused quay buildings are now a hotel and a pub. With sea and cliff views it's a wonderful place to stop off on a walk or start out.

You can also see Lundy Island from here. A designated marine nature reserve where you can head for day trips.

Ladies' Walk (Private road — no public access)

Highlight • Other

Roughly parallel to the private (not freely accessible) Ladies' walk, a tarmac road leads up in the shade. That road changes halfway into a path in a northwesterly direction (which immediately rejoins the coast). Or you follow the road in a northeasterly direction, where you can continue to Eldern Point (whether or not via a refresher at Pitt Farm campsite) and walk a nice round without duplications.

Blagberry Farm

Highlight • Settlement

Here is a right turn into a field at the end of the field you cross 2 styles co-joined for some it’s a lot easier to go straight on and turn right at the road junction then turn right on the next where you again join where the field comes out.

View of Eldern Point

Highlight • Historical Site

Here you can enjoy wonderful views over the dramatic and rugged coastline near Eldern Point in North Devon.

Eldern Point is infamous because on January 22, 1943, an American Airforce Liberator (B-24D) crashed here due to bad weather and poor visibility. The entire crew was killed, and the deceased were initially believed to have died in operations over Germany. In 1948, seven of the aircrew were returned to the USA, while the remaining three were reburied in the Cambridge American Cemetery.
