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.

The River Yealm flows from south Dartmoor to the sea. There is a seasonal ferry across the mouth which connects the South west coast path and avoids a fairly long inland detour.

Lovely views from the ferry steps. A water taxi runs from here across the River Yealm towards Wembury. This is a seasonal ferry which operates between 1st April and 30th September from 10:00am - 4:00pm. If you want the ferry, and it's on the other side, flip the signal board open and the chap will come and get you.

Beacon Hill at about 100 m above the sea is a brilliant viewpoint on the south-west coast path. Ivy Cove beach is the next steep descent east. There is the ruin of an 18th century tea house just off the path.

Wembury is a nice beach with great rockpools, a small surf break and a Marine Centre run by the Devon Wildlife Trust. There is a large car park and a cafe. The South West Coast Path runs through here and the walking is good in both directions.
