Speke's Mill Mouth Waterfall - North Devon
Speke's Mill Mouth waterfall, where Milford Water enters the sea, is magnificent. The first and highest at 54 ft of the five waterfalls is the highest in Hartland. The origin of the name Speke’s is unknown but has been suggested to be connected with the African explorer of that name John Hanning Speke (1827-64) who lived at Buckland Brewer.
