South West Coast Path
On the path. Off the map.
Where we sit on the SWCP
Stoke Barton sits on one of the most dramatic stretches of the South West Coast Path, between Clovelly and Bude, on the Atlantic-facing North Devon coast.
North stage, from Clovelly
~11 miles
The stage from Clovelly is around 11 miles and is strenuous. Start early, the path drops in and out of deep combes and there's little shade. Don't underestimate it.
South stage, to Bude
~15 miles
The stage south to Bude is around 15 miles and highly exposed. Carry plenty of water, there are few places to refill once you leave Hartland. Check the weather before you set off.
"Lots of people stay with us whilst walking the coastal path. If you're arriving via Hartland Quay, we'd suggest eating at the pub there before walking back up to the campsite, the Hartland Quay Hotel serves food until 9pm. This is not London and there are no 24-hour services out here."
Arriving on foot
Food
The Hartland Quay Hotel serves food until 9pm. Arrive there before heading up to us if you're coming in late.

We stock some basics: Honeys cream and Roddas clotted cream among them. Ask when you arrive.
