Speke's Mill Mouth Waterfall

Speke's Mill Mouth is a waterfall on the coast of Hartland that plunges down in three tiers from the cliff edge to a rocky beach below. The water descends over layered sandstone before meeting the Atlantic Ocean.

The waterfall sits in an area where flowing water has carved valleys into the rock over centuries. The cliff formation reveals how natural erosion has shaped this section of Devon's coast.

The South West Coast Path leads visitors through this natural monument, representing the geological heritage of Devon's northern coastline.

The location is reachable via several walking routes that wind through green valleys and along the coast. Good footwear matters here, as paths can be wet and slippery, especially after rain.

The fresh water flows directly into the ocean, creating an unusual spot where a stream meets open sea. This meeting point of waterfall and waves gives the place a different character than inland falls.
