옐프턴 최고의 러닝 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.

the road is often flooded near the junction to the east of here

Check out the graveyard and try and find the memorial to the Victorian family that for some reason had a horrible year in 1800s

Mothecombe Beach is a great place to stop for a picnic. At low tide there is a large sandy beach and rockpools to explore. The beach is owned by the Flete Estate. There is a café in the car park which is well worth a visit.

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.
