Follow the track as it gradually climbs past fields on both sides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t<div id=\"block_429d6a0cd990de8df235cce818ed8165\" class=\"Inner InnerWaypoint\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"InnerWaypoint__heading\">1.7 km<\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg width=\"54\" height=\"89\" viewBox=\"0 0 54 89\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<rect x=\"21.0005\" y=\"9\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" rx=\"6\" fill=\"#79716B\"\/>\n<rect x=\"21.0005\" y=\"9\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" rx=\"6\" stroke=\"white\" stroke-width=\"4\"\/>\n<path d=\"M25.7505 87C25.7505 87.6904 26.3101 88.25 27.0005 88.25C27.6908 88.25 28.2505 87.6904 28.2505 87L25.7505 87ZM25.7505 23L25.7505 25L28.2505 25L28.2505 23L25.7505 23ZM25.7505 29L25.7505 33L28.2505 33L28.2505 29L25.7505 29ZM25.7505 37L25.7505 41L28.2505 41L28.2505 37L25.7505 37ZM25.7505 45L25.7505 49L28.2505 49L28.2505 45L25.7505 45ZM25.7505 53L25.7505 57L28.2505 57L28.2505 53L25.7505 53ZM25.7505 61L25.7505 65L28.2505 65L28.2505 61L25.7505 61ZM25.7505 69L25.7505 73L28.2505 73L28.2505 69L25.7505 69ZM25.7505 77L25.7505 81L28.2505 81L28.2505 77L25.7505 77ZM25.7505 85L25.7505 87L28.2505 87L28.2505 85L25.7505 85Z\" fill=\"#E7E5E4\"\/>\n<\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\n<p>At the top of the hill the track meets a path on the right signposted to Putsborough Sands; ignore this path and instead continue on the track as it bends to the left and immediately cross a wooden stile on your right into a field, signposted Coast Path.

As you join the coast path a wooden signpost indicates Baggy Point is 1 mile to your left. Follow the exposed coast path for 0.5 miles, passing through two wooden gates and over one wooden stile, until you reach another signpost indicating \u2018Baggy Point \u00bd mile\u2019. A brief diversion along a path signposted \u2018NT Car Park \u00be mile\u2019 takes you to the remnants of a dummy pillbox; one of ten built on the headland for American troops training for D-Day preparations between 1943-44.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Returning to the coast path follow the lichen-covered dry stone wall on your left, where halfway along hides the trig pillar. Be warned, it is not an easy one to find as it\u2019s tucked in close to the high dry stone wall on the opposite side of the coast path \u2013 according to my OS Maps app I was standing on top of it and yet still struggled to find it. But persistence prevailed and I managed to peer over the top of the stone wall to catch a glimpse of the pillar hidden among brambles. At 94m it may not be the highest trig, but what it lacks in elevation it more than makes up with spectacular coastal views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"759\" height=\"378\" src=\"https:\/\/getoutside39507958bf.blob.core.windows.net\/blobgetoutside39507958bf\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/sunset_over_lundy_island.94c8e9c6e6d0831588ee814d1a331a95.jpg\" alt=\"Sunset over lundy island\" class=\"wp-image-5762\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/sunset_over_lundy_island.94c8e9c6e6d0831588ee814d1a331a95.jpg 759w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/sunset_over_lundy_island.94c8e9c6e6d0831588ee814d1a331a95-300x149.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 759px) 100vw, 759px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"331\" height=\"193\" src=\"https:\/\/getoutside39507958bf.blob.core.windows.net\/blobgetoutside39507958bf\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/sunset_at_baggy_point.1c97d49b7ea0708f41c1d7ae43df2851.jpg\" alt=\"Looking out to see the sea\" class=\"wp-image-5763\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/sunset_at_baggy_point.1c97d49b7ea0708f41c1d7ae43df2851.jpg 331w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/sunset_at_baggy_point.1c97d49b7ea0708f41c1d7ae43df2851-300x175.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 331px) 100vw, 331px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"331\" height=\"193\" src=\"https:\/\/getoutside39507958bf.blob.core.windows.net\/blobgetoutside39507958bf\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/swcp_sign.63807dac26b01fdbc4330616625f5aed.jpg\" alt=\"Fingerpost on the Coastal Path\" class=\"wp-image-5764\" srcset=\"https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/swcp_sign.63807dac26b01fdbc4330616625f5aed.jpg 331w, https:\/\/osmaps.com\/discover\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/swcp_sign.63807dac26b01fdbc4330616625f5aed-300x175.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 331px) 100vw, 331px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\t\t<div id=\"block_b0881b6bac24f21d0d377ff50fa32c04\" class=\"Inner InnerWaypoint\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"InnerWaypoint__heading\">3.8 km<\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg width=\"54\" height=\"89\" viewBox=\"0 0 54 89\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<rect x=\"21.0005\" y=\"9\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" rx=\"6\" fill=\"#79716B\"\/>\n<rect x=\"21.0005\" y=\"9\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" rx=\"6\" stroke=\"white\" stroke-width=\"4\"\/>\n<path d=\"M25.7505 87C25.7505 87.6904 26.3101 88.25 27.0005 88.25C27.6908 88.25 28.2505 87.6904 28.2505 87L25.7505 87ZM25.7505 23L25.7505 25L28.2505 25L28.2505 23L25.7505 23ZM25.7505 29L25.7505 33L28.2505 33L28.2505 29L25.7505 29ZM25.7505 37L25.7505 41L28.2505 41L28.2505 37L25.7505 37ZM25.7505 45L25.7505 49L28.2505 49L28.2505 45L25.7505 45ZM25.7505 53L25.7505 57L28.2505 57L28.2505 53L25.7505 53ZM25.7505 61L25.7505 65L28.2505 65L28.2505 61L25.7505 61ZM25.7505 69L25.7505 73L28.2505 73L28.2505 69L25.7505 69ZM25.7505 77L25.7505 81L28.2505 81L28.2505 77L25.7505 77ZM25.7505 85L25.7505 87L28.2505 87L28.2505 85L25.7505 85Z\" fill=\"#E7E5E4\"\/>\n<\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\n<p>At the end of the stone wall the path opens up into a wide grassy area.

From the pole continue along the grassy path as it follows a fence line and descends to a wooden gate. Pass through the gate to reach Baggy Point headland with its magnificent coastal views and top-notch sunset viewing credentials. On a clear day you can see Hartland Point on your left; the granite lump of Lundy Island, situated 10 miles ahead of you; and to your right, Morte Point and, if you\u2019re lucky, the South Wales coastline. Between March and June the sheer cliff-faces around Baggy Point are alive with nesting seabirds, whereas out of nesting season it\u2019s a popular spot for climbers. Below the headland is Baggy Leap, a sunken reef and the final resting place for&nbsp;<em>HMS Weazle<\/em>, which was wrecked off Baggy Point during a gale in February 1799, tragically drowning all 106 on board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t<div id=\"block_66a4db77d59b18a56ed9da8a6a012aa6\" class=\"Inner InnerWaypoint\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\n\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"InnerWaypoint__heading\">4.5 km<\/h2>\n\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<svg width=\"54\" height=\"89\" viewBox=\"0 0 54 89\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n<rect x=\"21.0005\" y=\"9\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" rx=\"6\" fill=\"#79716B\"\/>\n<rect x=\"21.0005\" y=\"9\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" rx=\"6\" stroke=\"white\" stroke-width=\"4\"\/>\n<path d=\"M25.7505 87C25.7505 87.6904 26.3101 88.25 27.0005 88.25C27.6908 88.25 28.2505 87.6904 28.2505 87L25.7505 87ZM25.7505 23L25.7505 25L28.2505 25L28.2505 23L25.7505 23ZM25.7505 29L25.7505 33L28.2505 33L28.2505 29L25.7505 29ZM25.7505 37L25.7505 41L28.2505 41L28.2505 37L25.7505 37ZM25.7505 45L25.7505 49L28.2505 49L28.2505 45L25.7505 45ZM25.7505 53L25.7505 57L28.2505 57L28.2505 53L25.7505 53ZM25.7505 61L25.7505 65L28.2505 65L28.2505 61L25.7505 61ZM25.7505 69L25.7505 73L28.2505 73L28.2505 69L25.7505 69ZM25.7505 77L25.7505 81L28.2505 81L28.2505 77L25.7505 77ZM25.7505 85L25.7505 87L28.2505 87L28.2505 85L25.7505 85Z\" fill=\"#E7E5E4\"\/>\n<\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\n<p>Continue along the coast path where, depending on the season, you\u2019ll see an array of flora: in spring the banks are a colourful display of sea campion and thrift; and in summer it\u2019s full of yellow gorse and purple bell heather.

Now all that\u2019s left to finish off this walk is a well-deserved cream tea at the Sandleigh Tea Rooms next to the car park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t<div id=\"block_56c6dd74035ba1a5baf94e82a7ae2cb5\"
