Welcome to Bull Point

Bull Point is a stunning headland located on the North Devon coast, near the village of Mortehoe. The area is known for its rugged cliffs, stunning views, and diverse wildlife. The headland is home to a lighthouse, which was built in 1879 and is still in operation today. The lighthouse is a popular attraction for visitors to the area, and guided tours are available during the summer months.

The Bull Point headland is also a popular spot for hiking and walking. There are several trails that wind their way along the cliffs, offering breathtaking views of the coastline and the surrounding countryside. The area is also home to a variety of wildlife, including seals, dolphins, and a wide range of bird species. Visitors to the area can often spot these animals from the cliffs, making it a popular spot for nature lovers.

In addition to its natural beauty, Bull Point is also steeped in history. The area was once a hub for smuggling, and there are still remnants of this illicit trade to be found along the coast. The headland was also used as a lookout point during World War II, and there are several bunkers and other structures that remain from this time. Overall, Bull Point is a must-visit destination for anyone looking to experience the natural beauty and rich history of the North Devon coast.
