Bolt Tail is a headland in Devon, England, immediately to the southwest of Hope Cove in the South Hams district, at grid reference SX670397. Bolt Tail is the site of an Iron Age promontory fort, although little evidence now remains of this structure; it occupied a classic promontory defended from inland by a linear earthwork at some 60 metres above sea level. The SS Jebba ran aground near here in 1907. Nearby, a similar fate had befallen the 90-gun ship-of-the-line HMS Ramillies in February 1760.
