Green Lanes and Green Fields

A Green Lane is a hedged path between fields. This Green Lane is managed by the North Devon National Trust. Worthygate Woods beyond are a Site of Special Scientific Interest and the area forms part of the North Devon Coast AONB. This is a totally unspoilt stretch of the Hartland Heritage Coast between Bucks Mills and Peppercombe. Little changes here which is good for the birds, wildlife, wild flowers, insects and butterflies. Tap here for the North Devon Focus photos taken on one day in May about ten years ago. There is a circular walk from the car park at Bucks Mills just off the A39 at Bucks Cross. You can walk through ancient woodland on this stretch of the Southwest Coast Path then leave the path to explore a Green Lane banked by traditional Devon hedgerows with glimpses of stunning views across green fields over Bideford Bay.
