Combe Martin offers something for everyone including hours of fun rock pooling with the children, kayaking in the bay (available to hire on the beach). Fishing, either sea or course, walking the southwest coastal path which runs through the village, visiting the dinosaur park or castle, coasteering and rock climbing , horse riding and much more.
The North Devon Coast is characterised by high cliffs and deep valleys, or
combes. This walk explores two of the more spectacular examples of these
features…. Combe Martin, a long, narrow village which straggles for some
two miles up one of these coastal combes, and the sinisterly named Great
Hangman, at 318m or 1,044 feet one of the highest points on the Devon
coast, with one of the most wide-ranging views.
The high point and the combe are linked by a length of the South West
Coast Path, which here is also followed by the Tarka Trail, which traces the
journey by Tarka the Otter in the book of that name. The return part of the
walk follows that path, while the outward leg uses historic inland lanes.
Not surprisingly, since the walk has to get to the top of Great Hangman from
sea level, this is a walk which perhaps should best be attempted by the
relatively fit. Although not the whole 1,044 feet is climbed in one length,
there is a long, steady climb of 200m or 650 feet which has to be tackled.
Although not exceptionally steep, it is somewhat unrelenting, although the
views from Great Hangman are worth it.
