쉬운 뉴턴과 노스 주변 하이킹 및 워킹 코스

Here starts a handy little detour that allows you to avoid a rather nasty climb on the SWCP if your legs get tired. Just turn inland and follow the cow trail. Special thanks to the local who gave us the tip 😊

Depart Raneleigh Barns hamlet, passing views of manor houses and thatched farms, and arriving at the church on the clifftop of Wemberry Beach. And with luck, pass by when the bell ringer is playing.

National Trust members can park for free here.

Steep steps down to beach, be prepared for a hike back up. The footpath down to the beach is easily missed.

From Gara Point you can enjoy wonderful views across the sea, along the coast and into the Yealm Estuary. You can also see the 19th century walls of Revelstoke Drive, a nine mile horse and carriage route built by Lord Revelstoke to flaunt his banking wealth. The walls were built to stop the carriages plunging off the cliffs and into the sea.

In the 1880s, Lord Revelstoke built a nine mile carriage drive around the coast of his estate. An extravagance to show off his wealth to guests, walls were built to stop the carriages rolling off the edge of the cliffs. As the path was built for coach and horses, it is fairly flat and still contains the 19th century cobblestones.

Noss Mayo is a hidden gem. Quiet, picturesque and on the waterside of the River Yealm, it is a wonderful place to visit or start a hike. You can take a ferry from here across to Newton Ferries or to the South West Coast Path on the other side of the estuary. There are two pubs, The Swan Inn and The Ship Inn. It is the perfect hideaway.
