Bull Point is a prominent headland located on the North Devon coast in England. Situated near the small village of Mortehoe, it is part of the rugged and picturesque coastline of the region.

The headland is characterized by its steep cliffs, which rise up to approximately 70 meters (230 feet) above sea level. These cliffs are composed of layers of sedimentary rock, displaying a variety of earthy tones and textures. Bull Point offers breathtaking views of the surrounding coastline, with its dramatic cliffs and pristine beaches stretching out into the distance.

The headland is also known for its distinctive rock formations, which have been shaped by the relentless force of the sea over thousands of years. These formations, including arches and stacks, add to the natural beauty and intrigue of Bull Point.
