Trail Reviews

David

June 16, 2022, Woolacombe to Croyde

A good walk which is fairly flat and not too strenuous but completed when it was a fantastic sunny day, so overheated and thus exhausting

Karla

August 18, 2024, Croyde und Woolabombe Bay

Croyde, with its narrow streets, holiday parks and many visitors, is a lively little place. You quickly leave the hustle and bustle behind you on the way to Baggy Point, and shortly after that the view opens up to Woolacombe Bay. I skipped the walk into Woolacombe and instead enjoyed the wonderful beach and the sandwich from the Porthole Café and watched the paragliders and hang gliders in awe.
