サウスハムの湖・トップ8

From this point along the South West Coast Path, you are treated to breathtaking views of Starehole Bay. This little bay in South Devon sits at the mouth of the Kingsbridge Estuary, where it opens into the English Channel.

Left Lake is a small lake on the right of the Two Moors Way trail from Ivybridge heading north to Red Lake. It's a great little pool with a peaty bottom, so the water is quite dark. It warms up well if you get a few days of sunshine, perfect for a quick dip on a long run on the south moor.

Mill Bay is a fun sandy beach. The views from this coast across Salcombe Harbour are wonderful. It's worth slowing down your run or pausing to take it all in.

It's often too windy here for a sheltered picnic but so worth it.

The views from here on a good day are superb.

The Avon Dam was built in 1957 to supply water to the coastal towns of South Devon. You can ride up the access road to the base of the dam but will have to leave your bike or push up to see the reservoir.

The headland looking back on Hope Cove and across to South Milton Sands. A nice stead walk up with some rockier bits near the top. Make sure you’re wearing suitable footwear if you want to get to the top of the view point.
