How to Find Hinkley Point

 The old access route was to drive to the Hinkey Point Powerstation Visitor Centre. This however has closed and there is NO access from Hinkley Point. However access can be made from Knighton.

 Knighton is poorly signposed. The best way is to drive to Stogursey and from here you will see a signpost to Burton. At Burton village, a small narrow road leads to Knighton. It is signposed on the Right and side as 'Knighton' across the wall. This cannot be seen if driving from Shurton and is easily missed!

 Follow the road all the way through the village. The road will come to a left hand bend, through a farm track. Follow the farm track up and over the hill, and up and over the next hill. You will see a large sign saying vehicles are not permitted past this point. There is plenty of parking spaces here, and you need to walk the remaining track.

 Continue to follow the farm track by foot all the way until you reach the cliff. Walk RIGHT all the way until the cliff dips. Here you can easily ascend to the shore. Carry on walking RIGHT along the foreshore.
