옐프턴 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

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 😊

Known by locals as either Mothecombe for the Western side and Wonwell Beach for the other side. Car Parking at Mothecombe is £6.50 in a field near the restaurant, and limited but free on the Wonwell side.

You can wade across the river when the conditions are right and the tide is out.

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.

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.

Built in 1790s as a lookout point. Makes for a good sheltered spot for a tea stop!
