Shouldn't that be Stanbury welcomes careful drivers?
For this walk, you need OS Landranger 190, Bude and Clovelly.

of walk
Watch out for Lundy
to the Northwest, there's the little bridge that crosses the border into
Cornwall. Morwenstow is one of my favourite parts of Cornwall and Hawker's
Hut is a perfect setting for "Song of the Western Men". If you're
very lucky, when you get back to your car at Welcombe, and you're sitting
with a nice cup of tea, relaxing, someone in the tatty camper van next
to you will play a didgeridoo as well!
Park the first
car at Stanbury Mouth, grid reference SS 203 134
To get there, drive northwards along the A39, through Kilkhampton, until
you reach Crimp. Turn left at the signpost to Morwenstow and Shop, follow
this road to the end, when you will reach a crossroads. Go straight across,
then past a farm, after which the road degenerates into a rough lane.
Soon afterwards you will see an area to park your car.
Park the second
car at Welcombe Mouth, grid reference SS 212 180
Retrace your steps back to the A39, then head north to Welcombe Cross
and turn left at the signpost to Welcombe. Follow this road, driving through
Mead and, shortly after, watch out for a sharp turning to the beach on
the left. Take this, later avoiding pot-holes before arriving at the car
park.
