Morte Bay is a bay on the northwest coast of Devon. It stretches from Whiting Hole about 500m north of Baggy Point in the south to Morte Point in the north. At the back of the bay is a long stretch of beach known as Woolacombe Sand.
Baggy Point was used during World War II by American forces training for the Normandy Landings.
I walked from Woolacombe to Baggy Point and then back along the beach. Approx 8 miles there and back.
A 7 mile trek along the coast with plenty of steep descents and ascents along the way.
Day 1 of my 2023 South West adventure starting on the North Devon Coast.
Morte Point is a peninsula on the north west coast of Devon, England, belonging to the National Trust. To the east is the village of Mortehoe and to the south is the seaside resort of Woolacombe.
Morte Point (literally meaning death-point) is notorious for being the site of many shipwrecks. Five ships were wrecked in the winter of 1852 alone.
Starting and ending at the village of Morthoe, this short walk took be around the headland and Morte Point.
