How to get here
Barnstaple station is 8 miles away.
Heddon Mills is 1.5 miles away with services from Barnstaple, Braunton and Ilfracombe. Catch the number 3 First Bus (Barnstaple/Ilfracombe) which runs half hourly, Monday to Saturday. The lane to Spreacombe and Woolacombe is busy at times so care is needed as there is no footpath.
Near National Cycle Network Route 31.
