An Update from Woolacombe Bay


"April and May are the best months for keen walkers".  
Come and walk the SW Coastal Path and Exmoor.

After a long, quiet winter everyone in Woolacombe is looking forward to the warmer, sunnier months that lie ahead.  The restaurants and beach shops are now open daily in the village and whilst it is still lovely and quiet it is nice to see a few more people around.  The weather has been good, mostly dry and bright, although, today, the water is quite choppy and there are fewer surfers out than normal.

April and May are very popular months for keen walkers.  The weather can be mild, sunny days are common and Exmoor and the Coastal Path are ready and waiting to be explored.

Our team at the Watersmeet Hotel know the surrounding area very well and are able to suggest numerous local walks.  We can also provide a picnic lunch if quests are planning to stay out all day.

One of my favourite walks is a circular walk from Mortehoe, which takes in the rocky headland of Morte Point, the 'smuggler's village of Lee, part of the Tarka Trail and Bull Point Lighthouse.  It is a fascinating route and a great way to see some of the best local scenery.  It is approximately 6 1/2 miles in total - and we can always have a cream tea waiting for you on the terrace when you arrive back with sore feet at the end of day.
