Foreland Point



Foreland Point is a rocky headland in Devon near Lynmouth, and is the most northerly point along the Devon and Exmoor coast. The highest cliff is 89 m above the high tide, although the highest point of the entire headland is near Countisbury (a village around a mile away) at 302 m. 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. The Trinity House-operated Lynmouth Foreland Lighthouse is also located here.

The area of the sea between Bideford and Foreland Point is a Marine Conservation Zone.
