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!

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.
