Devon Coast

Devon Coast is a Staying in One Place style walking trip with different excursions and walks to enjoy daily. You’ll explore the South Hams area of Devon.

Officially an area of outstanding beauty its history can be traced back to the early Dubonni tribe, translated as deep valley dwellers they would later give the county its name.

This varied walking tour also offers boat rides, a steam train experience, coastal walks, a lost village, author Agatha Christie’s home with coastal seascapes and inland views of hills and white plaster cottages.

Firstly, Devon is easy to reach. Perhaps easier than you might think. Only 3 hours direct from London to Totnes and a 20 minute taxi ride and you are there.

Your reward – being plunged into lands and seas that feel so different to other counties of South West England. Devon took its name from the early Dubonni tribe, translated as deep valley dwellers. And asides Devon’s deep green valleys there are seascapes, villages, ancient white plastered cottages, stories of shipwrecks, fishing and boats.

The South Hams is a landscape of rolling green hills dotted with small towns. It includes some of the most unspoilt coastline on the south coast which along with the Avon and Dart valleys form the South Devon Area Of Outstanding Natural Beauty.

This ‘Staying In One Place’ walking trip can be up to six nights, which we heartily recommend. There is so much to see and explore.
