Saunton to Putsborough – South West Coast Path Walks

Putsborough Sand

To get to from Saunton to Putsborough, IMHO, is definitely a two-walk strategy.  If I’m being honest though, the main reason for two walks was actually food related.  We were given an excellent Sunday roast recommendation at the King’s Arms… Continue Reading…


Barnstaple to Braunton – South West Coast Path walks

Starting from Barnstaple once again, but this time we’re heading West and North.  And again we’re starting out walking along the River Taw toward the estuary.  I’m not going to lie, this is about 7km of very flat pavement pounding… Continue Reading…


Westward Ho! to Barnstaple – South West Coast Path Walks

SWCP and Tarka trail to Barnstaple

We’ve just had a lovely 10 days in Barnstaple, which is on the Northern shores of Devon.  It’s a good 2 hours from our usual South Devon coast in Kingswear.  This is us spreading out further afield to take in… Continue Reading…


Whitsand Bay – South West Coast Path walks

Whitsand Bay

Whitsand Bay runs from Rame Head to Portwrinkle in Cornwall.  We had a gloriously sunny day in February to enjoy this section of the South West Coast Path and with two pups in tow, there was plenty of energy to… Continue Reading…


Rame Head circular – South West Coast Path walks

Rame Head in Cornwall

Back in Kingsand and we are now properly in Cornwall.  The section of the Coast path from Kingsand and around Rame Head is a particularly spectacular one.  Although it covers 6 miles of coast path the return leg across land… Continue Reading…


Cremyll to Kingsand – South West Coast Path walks

Mount Edgcumbe country park - Cremyll

Cremyll is the starting point for our South West Coast Path walks in Cornwall. But the coast path in Devon ends at the (Stonehouse) Marina in Plymouth before continuing over the water in Cremyll.  So we have one last trip… Continue Reading…


Teignmouth to Dawlish Warren – South West Coast Path Walks

Teignmouth pier

Teignmouth to Dawlish Warren sees us back on the South West Coast Path.  It feels as though we’ve been cheating on our beautiful coast path walks with the moodier but equally as handsome Dartmoor.  Perhaps a reflection of our personal… Continue Reading…


Black Tor and Hart Tor – Dartmoor Walks

Black Tor on Dartmoor

Our aim was Black Tor, taking in Hart Tor along the way. However, one of the things we love most about the moors is that you can design your walk as you go along.  This walk gave us a plethora… Continue Reading…


Hamel Down, Hookney and Birch Tor – Dartmoor Walks

Hamel Down bound stone

Hamel Down on Dartmoor sees our return to walking in Devon.  It’s good to be back on the blustery moor, getting totally windswept and losing a couple of layers of skin as it rips across our faces.  It’s also great… Continue Reading…
