The ruined shell of the old lighthouse is far less interesting than the amazing view! But it provides some welcome shelter if it's windy. Come down towards it from Selworthy Beacon, or up from Bossington. The path to it is very pretty and the views spectacular, but if you go round the corner of the old lighthouse the path continues as a narrow track along the side of the steep slope. Lots of scree visible, and one path winds back up towards the Beacon again, while you could continue down to the black, bouldery beach far below. Either way it's a real climb, so it's fine for the fit!!! Beware if it's windy, very exposed! Can be muddy and slidy if wet, so care should be taken.

Good views. Peaceful walk with access to the shore on the way. This was an incidental find but a welcome walk on a sunny day. You need trainers or boots as it is stony under foot. No facilities up at the point but there's a nice cafe opposite the car park. Various walks are possible.

Great walk from the NT carpark. Worth going a little further then the the suggested route that is marked. Take a OS map to discover the network of footpaths around the point.Once you have finished the village has a great little rea room to recharge your batteries.

Cobble beach walk that seems empty almost all the time. Nice walk up and round to a couple of other spots. It's for people that don't want loads of stimulation beyond the beautiful sound of a British cobble beach with little else to spoil it.

Though the screenshot below suggests otherwise, it is not a very steep walk up from the NT car park (if we could do it, then most could), but if you do then you are rewarded with some lovely views

Excellent views over the sea . We took the narrow path with the warning sign and would not recommend this route it zig zags up steep cliffs i would of taken pictures but was too busy filling my trousers

The remains of the old coastguard station. Manned until WW2. Fav views out to sea, to Porlock and back to Minehead - when there's no mist. Great walks. I came along the coast path from Minehead but there's parking nearby too.

Stunning views, both daytime and for watching the sunset. You can just walk up from Bossington Car Park, or incorporate it in to one of the many circulars you can do nearby.
