Lorna Doone Valley
Overview
Mystical valley and peaceful walks in countryside made famous by RD Blackmore
The Lorna Doone Valley was made famous by RD Blackmore in his famous novel Lorna Doone. Today you can enjoy extensive walks, bridleways, a tea room or why not stay longer at the Cloud Farm Campsite where you can sleep underneath the stars in a dark sky reserve?
Explore the Doone Valley along miles of waymarked footpaths. There is a walk to the Cloud Farm, a cirucular walk which takes in sites linked to the Lorna Doone novel by RD Blackmore or a much longer walk towards Watersmeet and Foreland Point with views over the sea.
Afterwards you can refresh with a cream tea or ice cream from Lorna Doone Farm.
Car park and public toilets can be found at Lorna Doone Farm.

What is Gift Aid?
Most of our places run the Gift Aid on Entry scheme at their admission points.
Under this scheme, if you're not a member you have the choice of two entry tickets:
- Gift Aid Admission
- Standard Admission
If the place runs Gift Aid on Entry, we'll offer you a clear choice between the Gift Aid Admission prices and the Standard Admission prices at the admission point. It's entirely up to you which ticket you choose.
Gift Aid Admission includes a 10 per cent or more voluntary donation. Gift Aid Admissions let us reclaim tax on the whole amount paid - an extra 25 per cent - potentially a very significant boost to our places' funds.
An extra £1 paid under the scheme can be worth over £3 to the National Trust as shown below:
| Gift Aid | Standard | |
|---|---|---|
| Amount paid by visitor | £11.00 | £10.00 |
| Tax refund from Government* | £2.75 | £0.00 |
| Total received by the National Trust | £13.75 | £10.00 |
