Ruby Country

Holsworthy and Hatherleigh are in an area known as 'Ruby County', where a new initiative is underway to provide further walking, cycling and horse riding trails.

The coastline just a few miles north of the source of the River Torridge forms part of the Hartland Heritage Coast. You can follow the coastal footpath from Westward Ho past oak woodlands to explore one of the worlds most unique villages and 14m century harbour. Further on, the steep wooded coastline changes, becoming more rugged in character, with amazing tilted rock formations at the spectacular beyond.
