My favourite place in England. I come here roughly once a year to recharge. I've only seen it in April, May, June, July and each time it was very beautiful. It's very peaceful and quiet and not many people come here, so stay away please

Beautiful walks through the woods leading down to the sea mouth. Stunning views. For anyone with a walking disability you can hire the tramper scooter for £3. Little tea room for coffee and cake or there is a hotel if you wanted a more substantial meal.

A real bit of Devon. Steep valley but a good not too steep walk to a small beach along a babbling stream. Nice National Trust cafe and good car park. A lovely way to stretch your legs without over doing it.

The little Cafe literally next door was really nice. The icecream; DELICIOUS! The pasty's are also *chef's kiss*🤌. Just that you have to wait for them around 30-40 minutes so they are fresh and hot. The wait is VERY worth it though. The coffee is also delightful; overall 4.5/5! Definitely recommend

Heddon Valley is one of the gems for those who love the outdoors. You can have a coffee after a walk/hike in the infamous hunters inn. You can adjust your route difficulty from easy to hard, from Heddon valley to woody bay and all the way to Valley of Rocks! Please take note that Vodafone has no signal. Enjoy!
