A Heddon Valley Walk: Holdstone Down Circular Walk

A short walk through a high-level wilderness.  This is also a fantastic spot for stargazing .. or alien sightings!

A short walk through a high-level wilderness with ancient settlements, plans for an ambitious Victorian housing estate which fortunately came to nought, and a history of spaceships and extra-terrestrial forces.

UFO-spotters regularly gather on the summit of this ‘holy mountain’ and children will love the mysterious pebble arrows often left around the cairn by ‘alien’ visitors.

There are several paths to the centre point, any of them will offer splendid views.

Part of the South West Coast Path walk from Hunter’s Inn to Combe Martin.

This is a great walk to do, in between other walks or on the way somewhere else.
