Walks on the Exmoor and North Devon coast: Croyde to Lynton

This page covers the coastal area from Baggy Point to Lynton, including Lundy and part of the North Devon Coast AONB.  Because of the steep terrain several of the walks in this area are quite short: these are arranged so that it is easy to combine them into longer walks (as long as you are prepared for 1000+ metres of climb).  Click next to the pdf icon to download the route.  Read the safety information, and click Map symbols for a key to the maps in the walk instructions.
