Peppercombe Beach

Peppercombe Beach offers a hidden gem experience near Horns Cross, accessible through National Trust woodland down to a secluded cove beneath dramatic cliffs. This intimate beach provides sand and pebbles in a sheltered setting, with the approach through ancient woodland adding to the sense of discovery. The location combines coastal beauty with inland natural heritage. Dogs are welcome year-round and particularly enjoy the woodland approach as well as the beach itself. The combination of forest walking and coastal exploration provides varied experiences, while the secluded location ensures peaceful visits. The natural setting appeals to dogs that enjoy both woodland scents and coastal environments. Access requires a moderate walk through National Trust woodland from small parking areas, adding to the adventure but limiting accessibility. Basic facilities are available at the National Trust car park, but the beach itself is completely natural. The location provides excellent wildlife watching opportunities and connects to spectacular coastal walking routes. The combination of woodland and coastal environments creates unique photographic opportunities.
