description Heddon's Mouth Overview
Heddon's Mouth is a pebble beach on Exmoor's north Devon coast in England, located at the mouth of the River Heddon where it meets the Bristol Channel. The beach is accessible via a 1.5-mile footpath through Heddon Valley, a steep-sided wooded gorge managed by the National Trust that features ancient oak woodland and diverse wildlife including red deer and rare butterflies. The dramatic coastal scenery and geological features of the area contributed to Exmoor's designation as a National Park in 1954, and the surrounding coastline forms part of the South West Coast Path.
