Baggy Point Easy Access Walk

A short and easy 2.7 mile walk on the South West Coast Path out to the tip of Baggy Point and back again, taking in spectacular views of the coastline towards Bideford Bay and Hartland. Children will love the whale bones and the old wreck post, as well as the rocks and cliffs. A gently sloping walk out to Baggy Point and back. An alternative route back includes a short steep climb.

Reviewed By Vijay_from_Surrey - London, United Kingdom

Great walk; not too busy (went in peak of August); as usual a friendly NT assistant at the car park; relatively easy with our two kids of nine and twelve. Two options to get to from Croyde NT parking; one over a couple of hills, the other a coast path by the cliff, we looped round over the hills and back through the coastal path. Personally I would not have done the walk by the cliff on wet or windy weather, but on a fine day it's worth doing. We spent almost two hours, but can probably be done in half that time, we took out time exploring down some rocks and taking pictures of kestrels.

Croyde Bay

Reviewed By MisterPesto - Bristol, United Kingdom

A cracking place to thoroughly enjoy the day with friends and family, whether just chilling on the beach, grabbing a ice cream or hitting the waves for some bodyboarding or surfing. Plus there is always the beach games - rounders, Frisbee, beach volleyball, football, cricket the list goes on and there are the sand dunes as well to climb, bodyboard down or just get lost in. then at the end of the day you can just relax on the beach and watch the sun set. Well worth a visit.
