Morte Point to Bull Point

While on holiday at Twitchen House Caravan Site we took the opportunity to walk more of the SW Coast Path.   We started by walking from our caravan down to the village of Mortehoe.  From there we followed the signs to Morte Point.  This took us along a grassy path to the end of the Point where we tracked down to the South West Coast Path.  The views were spectacular!

This part of the coastline is a known habitat for nuthatches.  As we walked along we saw one at the side of the path.  He was not moving so we don't know if he was injured or 'playing dead' as scared of us.

The path, as often the case with the South West Coast Path, went up and down, but the views were worth the effort.

We walked as far as Bull Point with the lighthouse, then followed the access road back to Mortehoe.  This was a much easier walk, with gentle hills, but it was not so interesting with high hedges either side.  The road led back to the centre of Mortehoe.  Instead of walking back on the road to the caravan site we decided to walk back to the South West Coast Path and follow it to Woolacombe.  It was a steep path to get to the Coast Path but once on to it it was a pleasant walk into Woolacombe.
