North Yorkshire · 2 places checked
2 places on our list here — walks from the village, beach access. Every verdict below was checked by a human — the stamp shows when.
A small sand and shingle bay at the foot of the village street, with rock pools at either end and Exmoor rising behind. It is one of only three beach exclusions in the North Devon district order, closed to dogs for the whole season under the same PSPO as Croyde, with a hundred pound fixed penalty attached.
Know a Combe Martin pub, cafe or place to stay that lets dogs in? Tell us and we will go and check it.
ADD A PLACEA 3.6-mile circuit of about two hours from sea level at Combe Martin up green lanes and farm tracks to the panorama down the valley to the sea, with 230 metres of steady climbing and going that stays fairly even underfoot. Start at the pay-and-display Kiln car park by the beach, which has toilets and takes the number 3 bus from Barnstaple and Ilfracombe; the village strings out along a mile of main road so the beach end is the place to aim for. Combe Martin's beach is one of only two in the North Devon Council area closed to dogs in summer, from 1 May to 30 September with a GBP 100 fixed penalty, so this is a walk to do out of the beach and into the hills, where the lanes are grazed by sheep and cattle and the stream gives dogs a drink.
