Foreland Point is a rocky headland in Devon near Lynmouth, and is the most northerly point along the Devon and Exmoor coast.[1] The highest cliff is 89 metres (292 ft) above the high tide, although the highest point of the entire headland is near Countisbury (a village around a mile away) at 302 metres (991 ft). The headland is owned by the National Trust; some areas are open to public access all year, as part of the South West Coast Path, while other areas have limited access.[2] The Trinity House-operated Lynmouth Foreland Lighthouse is also located here.[3]
The area of the sea between Bideford and Foreland Point is a Marine Conservation Zone.[4]
