Millook Haven

Highlight • Natural Monument

In Britain's top ten geological sites (rated by the Geological Society of London), Millock is a tiny valley that spits out dramatically into the sea. The picturesque beach cottage and surrounding land recently went on the market for an eye watering £1.7 million. It is a wonderful destination for a hike from either Crackington Haven in the South or Widemouth Bay to the north.

Millook Climb

Highlight • Climb

Not for the faint-hearted!
If heading north towards Bude; on the downhill, cover your brakes or risk a cliff launch!
Then up what's locally known as the corkscrew... take it wide! There is no descent launch for the up on the other side!
However, the effort is well worth the stunning views of the coast!

Millook Hill and View of Millook Haven

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Milook Haven has a pebble beach so doesn't see the huge crowds of other nearby sandy spots. This makes it a wildlife haven and a good place to seek calm.

It is surrounded by cliffs which makes the scenery very dramatic.

The road south from Milook is very steep at 30%!
