The summit of Heddon's Mouth Hill features a small stone cairn, with stunning views over the Bristol Channel and the rolling hills of Exmoor. It's a perfect spot to catch your breath and take in the scenery.
Heddon's Mouth Hill is primarily composed of Devonian sandstone, which gives rise to its rugged cliffs and deep gorges. This ancient sedimentary rock, formed from the remains of marine organisms, provides a fascinating geological history that can be seen throughout the area.
From the summit, hikers can see the rugged coastline of the North Devon coast, the sweeping moors of Exmoor, and the sprawling expanse of the Bristol Channel. A sight that makes the effort worth every step!
The name 'Heddon's Mouth' is derived from the River Heddon, which flows through the gorge before meeting the sea, with 'mouth' referring to the river's confluence with the ocean.
This area has a rich history, being frequented by smugglers in the 18th century, and it’s part of the Exmoor’s unique cultural heritage.
A scenic route following the river along Heddon’s Mouth before the ascent up the hill, offering beautiful views of the gorge and surrounding woodlands.
There is a small car park at Heddon's Mouth (SS646475), which can accommodate about 10 vehicles. Arrive early to secure a spot as it fills up quickly during peak seasons.
The nearest bus service operates from Lynton to Lynmouth. From there, it’s a short walk to the trailhead.
A café is located close to the trailhead in Lynmouth, along with toilet facilities. Make sure to grab a cream tea—it’s worth the calories!
