A wonderful, almost alien like landscape that is second to none. There are plenty of 'Rocks' to perch apon, picnic apon, relax apon in order to soak up the dramatic atmosphere. Well worth a visit.
Stunning views and scenery where the moor meets the sea. The weird alien landscape of the Valley of the Rocks is quite something and very different from the scenery in the rest of the West Country.
There is a sense of drama in the landscape here that makes it an exciting area to explore. With so many spectacular walks to enjoy, there is always a reason to return. This is the North coast at its best.
