If I were going for a walk from Seaview, I would have various options....

1. Most strenuous option: Turn right out of the gate. You are at the start of the Two Moors Way (so you could walk all the way to Plymouth!). The first section is solidly steep up to the brow of the hill. At least 15 minutes puffing, but lovely woods to walk through. Once you get to the top, turn left and walk along the path looking across the moor, Countisbury Hill, and down into the valley. There will be one short descent and then re-ascent before you continue on the level for a bit longer. At a certain stage you get the option of turning left and descending some large steps into an open 'prairie / meadow' from where you can look left back to Lynton. Crossing the meadow, you then enter the woods to step down to the Watersmeet road. Cross the road and you come to Watersmeet tea rooms (not sure of opening dates), and can choose your route back to Lynmouth from there. Suggest this will take a couple of hours?

2. Still strenuous: Walk up to Lynton and along the North Walk to the Valley of the Rocks. Walk down through Lynmouth to the carpark beyond the Cliff railway. You can either walk up the tarmac path that weaves in and out of the railway, or you can go into the carpark and choose a woodland path up to the North Walk. If you choose the woodland path, simply turn right along the North Walk which is a tarmac path that takes you along the outside of the hillside. You will have wonderful sea views all the way around and down to the Valley of the Rocks. Then simply walk up the road back into Lynton and back down to the house. The North Walk begins beside the Anglican Church.

3. Less strenuous, lovely walks:

A. Walk down to the road, across the carpark on your right, across the bridge and up Tors road towards Watersmeet. After a mile or so you can choose to veer right (signposted) on a path that will take you wetly beside the rushing river, or stay left for a little while to take the high road. The only problem with the high road is that last time I was there it did not signpost where you need to turn right, so you might do better to take the high road on the way back! It will take you less than an hour to reach Watersmeet Tea rooms.

B. From the tea rooms you can come home, or you could carry on, keeping the river on your right. It takes you up through glorious woods to Brendon where there is a good little pub, The Rockford Inn. Maximum of another hour / 40 mins each way.

C. From the tea rooms, keeping the very lively river on your left you could carry on to Brendon through beech woods and a steady climb. At the top you need to find the road and walk down to the left to the pub, where there is a footbridge to cross to the other side and descend.

4. Least strenuous: Take a nice walk down to the beach!
