イースト＆ウェストバックランドのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Lovely little hike. Several benches inviting for a little rest and snack - just make sure to not leave your waste around. There is also small bird watch stand available.

Shh, Bigfoot nesting area.

Codden Beacon is well-placed to provide amazing views south towards Dartmoor, northeast towards Exmoor and northwest across Barnstable Bay towards Lundy Island. The hill itself is one of a series of rounded hills caused by tectonic movement. There is a Bronze Age bowl barrow to the east.

Stop and take moment to remember The Great War.

Stick to the lower path rather than hiking all the up the hill only to have to backtrack 😂

The pontoon at Wistlandpound Reservoir has been specially created to provide accessibility to sailing for a wide range of people.

Wistlandpound Reservoir is a tranquil place where you can feel close to nature. It is an easy 2.6km hike around the edge of the lake which takes you through the forest and along the water's edge. All the while surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside. The path around the reservoir is accessible for both wheelchairs and pushchairs. The reservoir supplies drinking water to nearby Ilfracombe, Barnstaple and Combe Martin. If the water levels are low, look out for the ruins of the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway which used to run though the valley until the reservoir was built in 1956.

On the southern shores of Wistpoundland Reservoir, take a break in the bird hide to see what wildlife you can spot. You're fairly likely to see western cattle egret, and might be lucky to see a great white egret in the winter. There have also been recent sightings of white-tailed eagles up here! You can see all different waterfowl by taking a jaunt around the reservoir on the path.
