Text from the free encyclopedia WIKIPEDIA may appear below to give a little background information (internal links may not work) :
*************
Heddon’s Mouth[1] is a rocky cove on the coast of North Devon, England, about a mile down the River Heddon from the Hunter’s Inn.[2] It is preserved for the nation by the National Trust.[3]
In previous times it was a popular venue for smugglers,[4] but is now a popular destination for ramblers.[5] In 1885 a Mr E.D. Weedon was awarded the Royal Humane Society’s Bronze Medal for saving the life of Mr T. Groves at the locality.[6] In 1923 a pleasure steamer that had just left Ilfracombe broke its rudder and began to drift out to sea, but was towed to the cove and its 400 passengers safely decanted.[7]
The cove is so isolated that during World War II, a German U-Boat captain was able to allow his men ashore for relaxation without fear of detection.[8]
