The Gara Point & Revelstoke Drive loop from Noss Mayo in South Devon is an easy 4.3-mile (7.0 km) hike, taking about 1 hour and 56 minutes to complete with 447 feet (136 metres) of elevation gain. You will experience a diverse landscape, from the wild, open sea and rugged coastline to a sheltered estuary and lush wooded riverbanks. From Gara Point, you can enjoy panoramic views stretching from Rame Head past the Mewstone and St. Werburgh Church, reaching towards Newton Ferrers. The trail includes wide coast paths, surfaced roads, and optional woodland footpaths, with some sections featuring steep ascents and steps. Look out for wildflowers like primroses and violets along the way.
This loop starts from Noss Mayo, a charming waterfront village. While much of the Revelstoke Drive section is flat, be prepared for some steeper parts, especially if you venture towards Gara Point or through the woodland paths. The trail is suitable for dog walkers, but remember to keep your dog on a lead in areas where livestock might be present. This route is generally considered easy to moderate, making it accessible for many hikers, though good fitness is helpful for the steeper sections.
A highlight of this route is Revelstoke Drive, a historic 19th-century carriageway built by Lord Revelstoke. This path features specially constructed carriage walls, designed to protect horses and carriages from the sea on sharp bends. As you hike, you will also pass Blackstone Point, a Site of Special Scientific Interest, and Warren Cottage, which once served as a summerhouse for Lord Revelstoke's parties. Keep an eye on the waters below; lucky hikers might spot dolphins, porpoises, or grey seals.
