A great place for walking with fantastic views of Ilfracombe and the coast. From Hele Bay there are several zigzag paths through the woods, some of which are steep and tricky. The route from Ilfracombe is gentler and more open. At the top (450 ft) there are the earthwork remains of an Iron Age Hill Fort.

Lovely walking from Ilfracombe to Hele through Hillsborough. Great views of the Bristol Channel and Wales. Only takes about half an hour.

One of my favourite walks with dogs and one of my most challenging runs.

A good challenge to climb up the hill which you can use many different paths. When you get to top some fantastic views.

We walked from the corner of Cambridge Groove and Highfield Road towards Hillsborough Park Road through which we entered the parish. There are different walking routes, there are markings and a map in the area of the fork. We walked inside a "tunnel" made up of trees and bushes, at one point through a "window" we saw the picturesque town (Ilfracombe). After looking at the map we chose the path to the port and returned "home" with a stunning experience. warmly recommended.
