Rockham Bay

At the end of Mortehoe village just opposite the footpath to Rockham Bay is North Morte Well. This is attractive as it is set in a wall of natural stone, it is now used as a wishing well.

The walk to Rockham Bay is recommended as it is secluded and quiet although the steps  the beach are quite steep. There are plenty or rock pools to be explored and makes much fun for hours for kids.

From Rockham Bay you can take a walk along the coastal path to Morte Point. The path runs at a low level around the headland and as you reach the tip there are some great views towards Woolacombe and Baggy Point, if you are lucky you may even be able to spot the seals in the sea.

Off the coast of Rockham Bay many ships have been shipwrecked on the jagged rocks. During the winter of 1852 five ships were lost.

Where is Mortehoe Located?

Mortehoe is located on the North Devon coast between the villages of Woolacombe and Lee. It is a picturesque village with some great history, a visit to the heritage centre is something you should do. I would suggest you take the walk to Morte Point and take in the excellent views. The village of Mortehoe also has an amazing old church St Mary's.
