The Valley from the Rocks is a steeply bent heathland dominating the scenery with rugged rock formations just beyond Lynton in Devon walks, where Exmoor meets the ocean and offers superb strolls and walking routes. This walk also covers a brief section of the The west Coastal Path walking path and covers about 5 miles as a whole.
Be ready for an extended steady climb, a short steady climb after which a short sharp shocker of the climb. You may need strolling poles to steady yourself along with a good pair of walking shoes having a windproof jacket to keep out the ocean winds along this walking route.
This is Rugged Jack!
We parked in the main Bottom Meadow carpark and walked up passed the church with the town until we reached the finish where the main road bent round towards the right. We then walked remaining up Crossmead and switched right at the junction at the very top. As the road after that bends we took the actual footpath straight ahead signposted in order to Lee Abbey and These types of.
We then walked handed a disused quarry so when the path forked we walked left in the signpost for Lee Abbey as well as Bay to then stroll gently up through forest until we then arrived at the spectacular views towards the sea and back throughout Lynton.
This is Castle Rock!
As the path bears round left the views become more and more spectacular. Far below may be the Valley of Rocks, flanked towards the seaward by the craggy attractions of Castle Rock as well as Rugged Jack. Ahead is actually Woody Bay and, about the nearer headland, the milestone of Duty Point Structure. We continued our walk over the high point before the actual pathway started its ancestry.
As Lee Abbey came into sight we walked down the pathway since it zigged and zagged till we reached a entrance where we walked right in the fork by the edge from the woodland signposted to Shelter Abbey. We continued our walk to some junction of paths with a seat and continued walking straight ahead in the signpost for Lee These types of.
We then kept towards the main pathway leading with the woodland before crossing the footbridge to then walk round towards the right to another junction of paths but this time around turned sharp right prior to the footbridge to walk lower a narrow path signposted Shelter Bay continuing down through the stream.
We then walked passed a classic cottage, keeping it well left, where the path arrived at,and crossed, another flow. We then walked across the path as it began to bear left and then we reached a road. We had now reached the South West Seaside Path where we then began to head back to Lynton by turning right in the road to the 20mph indication continuing our walk in the road as it climbed as much as Lee Abbey.
The Coast Path continues across the road into the Area of Rocks where we then walked towards the little roundabout in the street, bearing left, to pass between your two rocky outcrops associated with Castle Rock and Tough Jack, and continued to follow along with the signposted Coast Route walking route.
Eventually the road becomes a lane as well as enters Lynton as Northern Walk. We now entered the ultimate short stage our stroll where we then walked left in the fork to descend into Lynmouth where we after that walked right up to the the surface of the hill returning back towards the church and car recreation area.
