Fairly sure the Natural Arch is at Prawle Point, the next one along. They are all gorgeous!

Langerstone Point protrudes from the beautiful South Devon coastline and features rugged cliffs and sweeping sea views across the English Channel. The area is connected to several nearby trails leading to places like Gara Rock, East Portlemouth and Salcombe.

The first church was built here in 1086. Even then, the "centuries-old yew tree" was mentioned - its age is now estimated at 1200 - 1400 years. Legend has it that anyone who manages to walk backwards around it 7 times will have one wish granted. In any case, it is a beautiful, ancient tree that looks pretty healthy and that you just want to hug!

Uneven surface along this stretch. Take care.

The Yew in the churchyard of St Mary & St Gabriel is thought to be between 1,000 and 2,000 years old. The carved wooden slices are from a Leyland Cyprus, they depict the important church events that would have happened in the last 2,000 years.

Gallants Bower is the remains of a fort built during the English Civil War. Today it's just the earth works and trees have grown on the slopes, but you can still see why this site was chosen in 1643. The views are amazing, both inland and out to sea so it's a perfect defensible position. The fort was built by the Royalists to help defend Dartmouth from the Roundheads. The fiercest fighting occurred in 1646 when the Roundheads attacked and defeated the town, then the castle and finally the last remaining Royalists surrendered from here. The National Trust look after the area now and the fort is a scheduled ancient monument.

Very steep climb, with drop offs on both sides. Same views from the flat grass area further back.

Easy but fun ridgeline scramble
