Westward Ho! to Cornborough Cliffs

Description

A section of the South West Coast Path that takes you on a cliffside path with wonderful views across to Lundy and Clovelly. The route follows a stretch of the short lived Bideford, Westward Ho! and Appledore Railway. It is surfaced with compacted stones and therefore suitable for wheelchairs, but is not as smooth as tarmac. There is a slight uphill gradient for the first part of the route, but the first bench is conveniently located near the top of the slope where you might want a rest. A second bench can be found at the end of the route so you can pause before heading back. Although the path itself is wide, do keep young children and dogs under control as there is no fence and off the path there is a drop to the rocky beach below. This Phototrail has been provided by the North Devon Biosphere Service from printed material funded by the North Devon AONB Sustainable Development Fund and Devon County Council.
