Tips

Country Walking Magazine

October 1, 2020

The jagged coastline of the South Hams is a notorious ‘ship trap’, which it’s said was exploited by unscrupulous ‘wreckers’ who would lure vessels to their doom. The fables are likely somewhat exaggerated, but a walk from East Prawle to Prawle Point is full of drama, mystery and stunning, fangy sea-rocks.

The coastline around Prawle is one of the most beautiful stretches in Devon, and marks the southernmost point in the county. Prawle Point is a haven for bird watchers. Migrant birds arrive here first in the spring and gather here before their long flights in the autumn. Keep a look-out for buzzards, ravens, hawks, cirl bunting, and nightingales. The whole stretch of the coastline from Mill Bay to Start Point is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest and most of it is owned by the National Trust.
