From here you can take a turn to visit Kipling Tors. Kipling Tors is in an elevated position overlooking the beautiful Bideford Bay. The tors are famous as they are where Rudyard Kipling, English novelist and short-story writer, used to hang out with his friends and smoke cigars and read books together.

Mermaid's Pool is a geological Site of Special Scientific Interest situated in north-western Devon. The mermaid's pool holds a special kind of magic to it and is best visited during low-tide. The pools make a wonderful place to explore with the whole family, where you can discover a fascinating array of sealife and flora.

The totem pole, also known as the Coastguard Pole, on Baggy Point once played an important role in training coastguards. It was designed to mimic the mast on a ship, and coastguards would practice firing rope at the mast, and then rigging up a breeches buoy.

Baggy Point is an exceptional headland in North Devon, separating Croyde Bay from Morte Bay and Woolacombe Beach. It's a favourite with rock climbers and, if the weather's dry, you're sure to see or hear some below. The views are fantastic on a clear day.

In 1915, whale bones washed up on the beach at Croyde, much to local amazement. The National Trust has brought this one to the cliff path, a reminder of the sheer size of these majestic creatures. The views from this point are almost as fantastic as the bone itself.

Flowing 48 miles (76 km) through the heart of Devon, the River Torridge forms a loop as it meanders from Meddon to the Bristol Channel. The river is known for its bridges and aqueducts. It was also made famous by Henry William's book 'Tarka the Otter', who called the river his home. Today, the river is home to many species of wildlife and fish, such as salmon, sea trout and brown trout.
