Embark on the Bull Point & Morte Point loop from Woolacombe, a moderate hike spanning 7.5 miles (12.0 km) with a total elevation gain of 929 feet (283 metres). This route typically takes around 3 hours and 26 minutes to complete, offering a dramatic coastal experience. You will navigate steep, rocky paths, numerous steps, and sections that can be muddy, all while enjoying spectacular views of rugged cliffs and headlands. Keep an eye out for the iconic Bull Point Lighthouse, a prominent landmark along this challenging stretch of the North Devon coastline.
When planning your visit, be prepared for an energetic walk with several steep ascents and descents. The terrain is not suitable for wheelchairs or pushcarts due to the many ups and downs and stairs. Good grip on your walking shoes is highly recommended, as some sections can be slippery, especially after rain. This trail demands good fitness, but the rewarding views across the Bristol Channel, potentially including Lundy Island, make the effort worthwhile.
This loop is notable for its rich history; Morte Point was once known as "Death Point" due to frequent shipwrecks. You might spot seals bobbing in the sea or resting on rocks, and various bird species inhabit the coastal heathland. The trail also follows a significant portion of the renowned South West Coast Path, giving you a taste of this extensive national trail. Don't miss Barricane Beach, famous for its unique cowrie shells.
