Not for the faint-hearted! If heading north towards Bude; on the downhill, cover your brakes or risk a cliff launch! Then up what's locally known as the corkscrew... take it wide! There is no descent launch for the up on the other side! However, the effort is well worth the stunning views of the coast!

Take a short break and enjoy the view. There's also a bench nearby.

In Britain's top ten geological sites (rated by the Geological Society of London), Millock is a tiny valley that spits out dramatically into the sea. The picturesque beach cottage and surrounding land recently went on the market for an eye watering £1.7 million. It is a wonderful destination for a hike from either Crackington Haven in the South or Widemouth Bay to the north.

The work of art reminds of this technology for oil and gas lanterns - invented by Goldsworthy Gurney in 1839 in this place and until the invention of electric light the brightest artificial light source - and of the "big boom" of the sun and planets on May 17th, 2000. Created by Carole Vincent and Antony Fanshawe.

From up here you can see across the wide expanse of sand that makes up Widemouth Bay. It is popular with surfers so this is a good spot for watching. Towards the south of the beach you can see Black Rock stretching out into the water.
