From Hartland Quay which is about a 20 minute walk . You climb the elevated heights of the coastal path above Screda Point before descending downwards and passing St. Catherine’s Tor.
Then you head onwards to the cliff tops above Spekes Mill Mouth. The views are not only breath taking from every aspect but it leaves you incredulous that such beauty is so close and so near.
Nestling comfortably in the Speke’s Valley and surrounded by some of the most dramatic and savage coastal scenery lays Spekes Mill.
There you will find a charming, isolated beach dominated by one of the most famous waterfalls (SS225236) in North Devon cascading 60 ft
over a sheer rock face of sandstone on to the beach below before merging into the sea. The coastline is wildly dramatic and rugged and stands proudly gazing over 3,000 miles of the open Atlantic Ocean whilst being constantly battered by the elements.
The co-ordinates bring you to a fence facing the waterfall.
When walking to the falls please keep to the paths, as the cliffs are constantly eroding. Also please keep control of dogs and children.
