High Peak (also known as Peak Hill) is a hill that’s partially eroded, resulting in a cliff face, on the English Channel coast to the southwest of Sidmouth. Its highest point is about 515 feet (157 m) above sea level. It's home to a partially eroded Iron Age hill fort, with pre-Roman and post-Roman pottery found there.

Hiking

Quite the hike up this section after a lot of rainfall. A little tricky in places as the rain has loosened a lot of the earth, so take care going up and especially going down. Definitely the highlight of the walk, just because of the views you get at the trig point.

Running

High Peak is a lot steeper than we would think with lots of rubbly loose rocks so have the right footwear for getting up and down.
