Amazing views stretching out across the Severn estuary, with great views of the Welsh coast on a clear day.

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.

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.

The Torrs, sometimes known as The Seven Hills, tower over Ilfracombe. These stunning cliffs offer sweeping coastal views. It is easy to see why they have been such a popular place to visit since the 19th century. As you walk through Torrs Park, you will meander along a zig-zag path which was dug by the Victorians.

This is a brilliant place for seal watching. Keep a look out for their heads bobbing in the sea or lying up on the rocks. If seals aren't enough, there are some fantastic views south towards Baggy Point across Woolacombe Bay. It is called Morte Point as it is such a dangerous area for shipping. So many ships have been wrecked here that its name means 'Death Point'.

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.
