There are so many walks and nature trails in this area that the visitor is spoiled for
choice All Visitor Centres can provide maps and give useful advice and information about
the routes. The descriptions given below are examples of the wide variety that is
available |
| The Coastal Cliff Path can be walked in one-day sections, backpacking
and staying each night at a different place, but many visitors prefer to use a hotel or
guest house as a base and either drive or bus to a different starting place each day. |

Crackington Haven, is the starting place for a 9 mile walk to Bude,
taking in a variety of scenery that includes an unusual woodland area (Dizzard Wood), some
excellent cliff top views, before reaching Widemouth Bay and thence to Bude. |
| St John's Church, Morwenstow, is the start of an interesting and not
too long circular walk. It takes in Hawkers Hut, a shelter on the cliffs built by the
19th-century Vicar, Robert Hawker. The walk continues up the Tidna Valley
and returns via the inn to the church car park. The churchyard is of interest as the
Reverend Hawker insisted that the bodies of seamen washed up on the foreshore should be
given Christian burial there. He also built the Vicarage which can still be seen, with
some chimneys modelled on the church towers of his previous parishes. The Vicarage grounds
contain St John's Well which dates from the 11th century. Water from the well is still
used in baptisms. |

between Halwill Junction and Bude, passing a conservations pond that attracts a great
number of dragon and damsel flies. South West Forest
