Beautiful views and a nice walk with a beach that is great for paddling in. You can go up for an even closer look at the sea views but be warned this is a cliff edge so watch your children. It has close parking but is a bit of a drive from this location.

One of our families all time favourite walks. contains great river views. Is safe for dogs and children. Many different routes and paths which lead to the middle point of Watersmeet cafe this offers drink and food which is a welcome break.

We as a family have not been here much however it is a boat trip from Ilfracombe. On this trip it offers the opportunity to see seals, dolphins and other marine animals. The island also contains a population of puffins. There is a circular walk around Lundy which is said to be of moderate hardness.
