WALKING Those boots are made for walking
Now that the days are longer it’s the time to get out and about and enjoy the wonderful range of walks in the area. The South Devon Area of Outstanding Beauty has many routes to enjoy for walkers of all levels and with maps to download from
www.southdevonaonb.org.uk or
www.southwestcoastpath.com.
Miles & miles of walks in AONB The South West Coast Path provides good walking and stunning views for all – particularly from Salcombe to Brixham. Some routes are strenuous but you can pick and choose sections depending on the ability of the walker.

The Salcombe to Torcross section of the South West Coast Path is over 12 miles long but the spectacular views are very rewarding, particularly from Prawle Point and Start Point. The section between Beesands and Hallsands is highly recommended and holds the Number 2 spot of the annual Top 10 dog walks on the South West Coast Path. As a circular walk of 3 ½ miles which starts and finishes at the Seafront Car Park in Beesands, the walk takes in the dramatic remains of the historic village of Hallsands and passes around the ley which houses many migrant grebes, coots and warblers. Beesands itself is also a welcome stop with several cafes and The Cricket Inn to satisfy the pangs of hunger and thirst.
