The Croyde and Putsborough Circular Walk is a great intermediate trail along the North Devon coast that offers some lovely views across the Bristol Channel, as well as some rugged coastal terrain underfoot. While out walking the trail, you will make your way around the headland at Baggy Point, traversing the undulating terrain along the cliffside before descending towards the beach in Putsborough. There are some steep drop offs along the cliffs, so make sure to exercise caution if travelling with children of dogs.

Croyde and Putsborough Circular Walk Description

Walking the Croyde and Putsborough Circular Walk is a popular excursion along the North Devon coast, thanks to its easy accessibility from several campgrounds, fun trails with a good amount of variety, and stunning views of the Bristol Channel. Setting out from the car park, you will head to the northwest along the edge of the cliffs and make your way around the scenic headland at Baggy Point. From there, you will follow the trail as it bends to the east and traverses several steep inclines along the hillside. Eventually, the trail will descend towards Putsborough Beach, where you can lay out on the sand and enjoy the lovely coastal atmosphere. After you’ve finished up, retrace your steps uphill to the west before turning to the south on the final leg of the journey across the open countryside to return to the trailhead.
