Wringcliff Bay

Wringcliff Bay, also known as Wring Cliff Cove,[1] is a bay on the Bristol Channel in the north coast of Devon, to the northwest of the village of Lynton, and to the northeast of Lee Bay in a "basket-shaped hollow" below the Valley of the Rocks.[2]

Duty Point and Crock Point are nearby.[3]

A narrow path leads down to the bay 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]
