Trig Point: Fatacott Cliff

On the South West Coastpath between Hartland Point and Clovelly. I'm not sure of the spelling of Fat(t)acott. Whether it's Fatacott (the Cliff) or Fattacott (the East and West farms).

Long Furlong

The farmyard barns have been converted into holiday cottages at this attractive spot on the lane to Hartland Quay. The chimneys indicate the age of the farmhouse.

East Fattacott Farm

Or Fatacott... And I suspect that the two farms, East and West Fattacott, may have become one, as there only seems to be one farmhouse beside the considerable number of barns. Here it is seen across the plateau from the end of the drive way to the farm at Moor.

Exmansworthy Cliff

The scrub-covered headland below marks the point at which Exmansworthy Cliff becomes Brownsham Cliff as Beckland Bay begins. Taken from the South West Coast Path as it follows Hartland Footpath 66. The view includes SS2926 : Blackchurch Rock, Mouthmill Beach, with, in the distance, the coast past Westward Ho! and Braunton.

Junction at Dillington Bungalow

The principal lane leading from Hartland Point to the outside world can be an awkward width, and this driver is taking no chances. On the right at this junction is an unusual fragment of plateau-top woodland, unnamed on the maps.

Youltree Cross

Two junctions for the price of one. In the background is Moor Cross, where a lane branches off to Fattacott. Youltree Cross is a significant junction of lanes north of Hartland.

Lundy Island from near Exmansworthy

Seen from the path (not on the definitive map) linking the National Trust car park at Exmansworthy with the coast path. The tractor was spreading black slurry. The view may look idyllic but the smell was indescribable.

Coast path above Exmansworthy Cliff

The path circumnavigates a field of barley. The cliffs ahead are at Beckland Cliff and Windbury Head (in SS2826), and beyond that, at Mouth Mill with the distinctive Blackchurch Rock. In the distance is the coast towards Westward Ho!

Waterlogged bridleway near Fattacott

Hartland Bridleway 47 is not merely waterlogged because of the recent heavy rain; according to a local farmer it's always like this and a ditch is needed. On this stretch it came to within 2 inches of the top of my wellingtons.
