Devon Creek to Coast

All the joy of the coast!

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

This Inn to Inn style walking trip can be 5 to 7 nights, and we heartily recommend 7 nights as there is so much to see. Request an example itinerary and mini brochure to your right for a complete overview including sample daily itinerary. Please be aware that from mid-July to end August is peak holiday season and due to crowds we do not offer the trail at this time.

Trail highlights include:

• Ancient castles
• Opportunity to ride a ferry boat or steam train
• Dartmouth, historic and naval coastal town with stunning quay and picturesque outlook
• Stunning seascapes and sea views
• Start Point lighthouse
• A wondrous sense of journey following the river Dart from creek to sea
