스토켄햄‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪8‬개의 천연기념물

The former house and gardens of the chemist and inventor Otto Overbeck now belong to the National Trust. The eccentric Otto designed, among other things, the "rejuvenation apparatus". Electrodes were attached to the body and were supposed to work wonders. These and many other oddities can be admired in Overbeck's when the house is open. At the moment it is not because of renovation work! But the gardens are fantastically beautiful and worth a visit on their own. They exude southern charm - visitors almost forget that they are in England. There are only a few parking spaces, so it is better to walk here. Good food is available at the Gastrobus, where you can borrow a basket and enjoy the food in the beautiful garden. Very stylish! We have been here a few times over the years and have always been totally impressed

Prawle Point is the southernmost point of Devon. There is a coastguard lookout point here with an interesting information board. The South West Coast Path passes here and the running is excellent in both directions.

NCI look out have a visitors room open most days.

There are certainly many highlights here, the special being the South Sands Ferry. There is no dock at the South Sand. A kind of tractor drives into the water there, where the ferry then docks. Very picturesque!

The way here is not difficult. From Salcombe take the ferry to Souths Sands and from there it is only a mile or two and you are on a lovely stretch of coastal footpath. You can continue walking to Bolt Head and then along the wall to Overbecks Garden. A wonderful little round.

Visitors‘ center is open at Prawle Point Seawatch Station.

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.

Look Up as well as down for some great view of the archaeology.
