Foreland Point is a rocky headland in Devon near Lynmouth, and is the most northerly point along the Devon and Exmoor coast. The highest cliff is 89 metres above the High Tide, although the highest point of the entire headland is near Countisbury at 302 metres.
There is a lighthouse on the Point which was established in 1900, electricity was brought to the lighthouse in 1975, and it was automated in 1994 . The light is 67 metres above the High Tide, and flashes 4 times every 15 seconds.
The Headland is owned by the National Trust; some areas are open to public access all year, as part of the South West Coast Path, while other areas have limited access.
