Baggy Point - Discover Spectacular Coastal Walks and Views in North Devon
Baggy Point is a breathtaking coastal headland situated between Croyde Bay and Woolacombe on the beautiful North Devon coast. Managed by the National Trust, this dramatic stretch of coastline forms part of the North Devon National Landscape and offers spectacular views across the Atlantic Ocean. With rugged cliffs, rolling grassland and picturesque coastal scenery, Baggy Point is a popular destination for walkers, photographers and nature enthusiasts seeking to experience the natural beauty of Devon's coastline.
Visitors can explore scenic walking trails around the headland, enjoying panoramic views towards Croyde Bay, Woolacombe Beach and Lundy Island on clear days. The South West Coast Path passes through the area, providing opportunities for both shorter walks and longer coastal adventures. Baggy Point is also known for its fascinating geology, colourful coastal vegetation and opportunities to observe seabirds. The exposed headland and surrounding cliffs create a dramatic landscape that is particularly impressive during clear, sunny weather.
Baggy Point is free to explore throughout the year, although parking charges may apply at nearby car parks. The National Trust provides access to coastal walking routes, with some gentler paths suitable for visitors seeking a less demanding walk. However, sections of the headland contain uneven ground, slopes and exposed cliff edges. There are limited facilities directly on the headland, but cafes, toilets and shops can be found in nearby Croyde. Other local attractions include Croyde Beach, Putsborough Sands, Woolacombe Beach and Saunton Sands.
