Wringcliff Bay

Wringcliff Bay

Wringcliff Bay, also known as Wring Cliff Cove,[1] is a bay on the Bristol Channel of northern Devon, England. It lies to the northwest of the village of Lynton, to the northeast of Lee Bay in a "basket-shaped hollow" below the Valley of Rocks.[2] Duty Point and Crock Point are nearby.[3] A narrow path leads down from the South West Coast Path to the sand and shingle, and also leads to Lee Abbey to the west.[4][5] The bay is mentioned as "an isolated spot" in Hazel Holt's novel, Gone Away (2010).[6]
