As reported Hartnells lane is a real mess. Waded up the track to the field gate then easy pasture. | cjo | 20/12/2023 |
From car park by old railway track bed. Took that filthy Hartnall's Lane, narrow and muddy as Jonglew said- sadly like that after a dry spring. Then along field boundary. Gate near top if you are not sure which side the HP is. Heavy shower on descent. | pwheeler | 08/06/2022 |
From car park to due N. Took that filthy Hartnall's Lane, narrow and muddy. Then along field boundary. | jonglew | 06/11/2021 |
10km loop from Woolacombe beach, taking in Woolacombe down and spreacombe hill. 2hrs 30, very hot and lots of horse flies! | Nicky C | 27/07/2021 |
Parking to north, along road, then up BW and into summit field. | PeterD | 06/05/2019 |
From parking toN. Along main road and up bw. A bit muddy but known worse. Then into summit field. Suggest you return by same route as I tried further east to be confronted by brambles and hawthorn in every direction. | Campbell Singer | 11/04/2019 |
HP indistinct in grassy field, probably near fence and gate. Very gusty. First primroses of the year seen in muddy Hartnoll lane. Based in nearby Golden coast resort- great value at this time of year. | Denise | 10/03/2019 |
From the N along muddy wallow of Hartnall's Lane to ridge then ESE through fields of cultivated pasture to levelish summit. Blustery. Camping at Golden Coast Holiay village, definitely OK out of season, even use of pool and sauna included in the price. | RichardM | 10/03/2019 |
Easy from nearby road | nordicstar | 10/10/2017 |
From N as Dusty, not v muddy after dry spell. Hp probably N side of hedge as suggested by 25k map but rather level, pasture | RHW | 16/07/2017 |
After day in Ilfracombe. Hartnall's Lane then following hedges from west. Muddy but not as bad as I was expecting. | Dusty | 16/02/2017 |
Quagmire deeper than my new boots up b/way trapped between hedges from NW then gates to top through grass at last. L wearing trainers sensibly turned back early. Wellies or a drought would be best. Start of a circular walk from small free car park on Tarka Trail (old railway) and over Woolacombe Down to beach, then cliff path to Morthoe Hill and f'paths through giant sized caravan / chalet parks back inland to car. | Chris Pearson | 04/04/2016 |
