    Croyde and Putsborough Circular Walk

    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.
