During the walk, I am hoping that we catch the Wild Rhododendrons in Full Bloom.
The walk starts on the moors of Exmoor and we head East and towards the coast until we join the South West Coastal path and head back West again. Nearing sunset time we deviate off the SW Coastal path to see the Lynmouth Foreland Lighthouse
As we head south from the lighthouse and to the top of Butter Hill, there is a Trig Point there.
We should catch the Sunset at 9pm
I plan to stop for our snacks/cake around sunset time
I am assuming the last mile of the walk will be after sunset and so we could be walking in the dark at this point. You may want to bring a torch for the last bit back to the cars. We should be back at the cars for about 9:45pm and if people are keen we can find a nearby pub for last orders.
This walk does include walking through Cattle, so please be ready for this, especially as they could anywhere along this walk. This also means the walk isn't suitable for dogs.
