Stair Hole is a place that combines tranquility and beauty and leaves a lasting impression. An absolute must for anyone who wants to experience the wild beauty of the English coast!

Wear long trousers to prevent ticks

So if you're in the area and willing to pay the entrance fee, then you can take a look. If you don't see it, you're not missing much. It's really just a small area that's well worth seeing. But I have to be fair ☝️... ... the circular trail was closed because of a landslide. So we're missing half of the trail. Maybe the other half would have changed our minds. For people who spend a lot of time in nature, it's OK, nothing more. I hope I'm not lynched here now 😬🙈. There's really beautiful nature in Dartmoor and it's free too 😉.

Warning! Apparently there was a landslide, so the path along the river is closed. You can only get to the waterfall through the National Trust area. Entry fee is £11 per person! It's no longer a quiet place. Children play right by the waterfall, so you can't take any nice photos. It's a real shame! We would have liked to have known this before the hike. Then we definitely wouldn't have done it!!!

Beautiful view of the wide sea with rocks and cliffs. You can also go for a swim in Boscastle Harbour. That's what the locals do here. So pack your swimming trunks/swimsuit.

This tour is beautiful and highly recommended. We had a drink down in Lynmouth and went back up on the water slide. Then we went to Charly's in Lynton.

Lovely walk, lots of interesting and varied scenery. We did it on a good November day and some short sections inland were very muddy
