点评:Capstone Hill sits beside Wildersmouth Beach. It is the large rocky outcrop, sitting immediately on the seafront and jutting out to sea.
This was our starting point when we began exploring the town of Ilfracombe. It's a convenient starting point for many visitors because the Landmark Theatre carpark is right here and has plenty of public parking spots.
It's a very lovely, rugged coastline along this part of Devon and Capstone Hill is just one of several hills in Ilfracombe that you can climb for panoramic viewing points.
It’s a steep climb to the top, but it’s not a long one. You can also do a circular walk around the base of the hill which skirts the coast. You don’t get the elevated views but you still get very striking views. However this walkway looked to be closed when we were there (mid 2025). A local told us that there’d been some rockfalls and that it was closed while netting was being put in place.
Later, when we were down by the harbour, we climbed Lantern Hill instead. It also has panoramic views towards Lundy Island and back over the town so we didn’t miss out altogether.
翻译:卡普斯通山 (Capstone Hill) 位于威尔德斯茅斯海滩 (Wildersmouth Beach) 旁。它是一座巨大的岩石山丘,紧邻海滨,直插大海。
这里是我们探索伊尔弗勒科姆 (Ilfracombe) 小镇的起点。对于许多游客来说,这里是一个便捷的出发点,因为地标剧院 (Landmark Theatre) 的停车场就在附近,而且有很多公共停车位。
德文郡 (Devon) 的这一带海岸线风光旖旎,崎岖不平,而卡普斯通山只是伊尔弗勒科姆众多可以攀登的山丘之一,从这里可以欣赏到全景。
攀登到山顶虽然陡峭,但路程并不长。您也可以沿着山脚绕海岸线走一圈。虽然无法到达山顶欣赏美景,但依然可以饱览壮丽的景色。然而,在我们去的时候(2025 年年中),这条步道似乎已经关闭了。一位当地人告诉我们,那里发生了一些落石,目前正在安装防护网,所以暂时关闭了。
后来,当我们走到港口附近时,我们改爬了灯笼山。从那里也能欣赏到伦迪岛和城镇的全景,所以我们并没有完全错过美景。
