I walked Ilfracombe to Lynton once and bivied halfway along, on the top of a cliff somewhere were there was a spring. Loved looking at the lights of S Wales out of my bivi bag. Spectacular coast and very remote in places. There are two local legends, one of a "gert fish" that lives in one of the coves,, and also that in the war U-Boats used to regularly beach to top up on fresh water, in complete safety due to the remoteness.
Valley of Rocks. Few nice little routes on the big block on top of Castle rock. Wanted to do the pinnacle I took this pic from but all the routes looked like they needed a good scrub and prune back some ivy.
The coastline here is pretty stonking. There’s miles of untouched sea cliffs to be had. The fact that all of them have 100+m of crumbling hills above means that access is only for the very brave.
