1. From car park, return to road and turn left. After 100m turn right, signed ‘Mouth Mill 1 mile’, and follow track down hill.

2. At a major fork in the woods bear right signed ‘Public Bridleway’. Bear left after 70m, and then after a further 70m turn right off the main track to follow public bridleway up rocky track.

3. Go straight on through metal gate after 150m. Bear left along field edge. Follow bridleway across next field via gate left in middle of pasture as waymarker. At top corner of field bear left along track.

4. Follow bridleway down through Court Farm and continue along drive. If you prefer to follow shorter route, turn left by the stream below the farm and follow the track. At the bottom, track curves round to left. ¾ of the way round the bend fork right following white waymarker. Bear left after 70m to rejoin main route along coast path. Rejoin main route directions at instruction 9.

5. At estate yard and church bear right up drive (or to visit church or gardens, follow black and white signs ahead and to right, looping round to left).

6. At the road turn left along pavement. Where pavement peters out, continue along road, past ‘T’ no-throughroad signs.

7. At junction by small car park turn down to left signed ‘Coast Path Brownsham 2 ½m’ then fork immediately left through large black gate with white ‘CoastPath’ sign. Bear right along track. (Alternatively to visit Clovelly, turn right at initial junction down path to village. To return to route retrace your steps and follow directions).

8. Follow coast path fingerposts, ‘acorn’ waymarkers, and yellow arrows along clifftop. Path passes through parkland field, woods, and field once more, before re-entering woods.

9. At path junction bear right signed ‘Coast Path’. At a further path junction beyond ‘Angel’s Wings’ shelter, bear right following coast path fingerpost.

10. At T-junction at bottom turn left signed ‘Coast Path’. (Alternatively turn right to follow permissive path to viewpoint, then retrace your steps to here and go straight on). Turn sharp right after 30m to follow track.

11. At the sea wall at Mouth Mill, drop down to the left and cross stream, then turn left up track. Beyond the half ruined building on right, turn sharp right to follow coast path up through woods.

12. From the stile at top of woods, instead of following coast path round right edge of field, go straight ahead up over the brow to gate and stile. Follow the old green lane inland (Permissive Path).

13. When you reach farm buildings bear right past front of large barn, then right again up road. Car park is 50m on right.

Devon offers a glorious tapestry of colour throughout the seasons. From the dazzle of its coast and the inspiring open cliffs and heaths, to its richly wooded valleys and the patchwork of rolling field and pasture, this beautiful county offers a feast
for the eyes.
