Part of the Tarka Trail

Beautiful little beach. You can ride your bike right onto the beach.

Not for the faint-hearted! If heading north towards Bude; on the downhill, cover your brakes or risk a cliff launch! Then up what's locally known as the corkscrew... take it wide! There is no descent launch for the up on the other side! However, the effort is well worth the stunning views of the coast!

Sit inside or there are picnic tables outside and railings to secure your bike to. Traditional British cafe fair at reasonable prices. They do a lovely latte coffee and my favourite bacon & egg bap.

The manor of Crackington was recorded in the Domesday Book (1086) when it was one of several manors held by Berner from Robert, Count of Mortain. There was half a hide of land and land for 3 ploughs. There were 1 plough, 2 serfs, 6 smallholders, 4 acres of underwood, 20 acres of pasture, 4 cattle, 3 pigs and 25 sheep. The value of the manor was 10 shillings though it had formerly been worth £1 sterling. Until the nineteenth century, Crackington Haven was a small port similar to many others on the north coast of Cornwall. Limestone and coal were imported and slate and other local produce were exported. After the railways reached the district in 1893 the village could be reached more easily (from the North Cornwall Railway station at Otterham) so holidaymaking became more common.

Perfectly preserved bridge with great view all around

Three routes into or out - all with steep sections. The coastal route takes you to high cliff at about 850 feet above sea level and up to 1 in 3 gradient. Enjoy.

From up here you can see across the wide expanse of sand that makes up Widemouth Bay. It is popular with surfers so this is a good spot for watching. Towards the south of the beach you can see Black Rock stretching out into the water.
