Just north of Woolacombe is the lovely village of Mortehoe where this moderate walk begins.Head north along the sleepy country roads before finding the South West Coast Path. Take a westward direction towards Bull Point lighthouse.This area of coastal heathland is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and supports many natural habitats. Keep your eyes peeled for seals on the rocks below at low tide, and even dolphins and porpoises swimming close to shore in summer!Head past Rockham Beach, with the option to cut the route shorter with a path leading back to North Morte Road. If not, continue on to Morte Point and soak up more stunning coastal views.
