Devon Coast

Walk Devon’s coastline and inland green landscapes with a Foot Trail.

With the soothing sound of the sea never far away, your trails will ensure you see tucked away beaches and coves, hear tales of shipwrecks, boats and fishing. If you are lucky you may see seals on the rocks. Discover watery seascapes in muted blues, greys and browns and after a day filled with fresh salty air tuck into local food and drink at a Devon country pub.

“Once again you have organised a wonderful 12 days of walking. We loved the coastal walks in Devon, inspiring and breathtaking in their ruggedness. The rolling hills and forest walks in Dorset combined with sunny Fall days were a wonderful contrast. All best”
