Another wonderful National Trust walk and very close to our home. Wonderful views over Starehole Bay - a favourite spot for waterskiing in the summer. Quite steep in places, so you do need to be reasonably fit.

Probably the best beach in Salcombe - although technically, this is East Portlemouth on the other side of the estuary. Take the ferry and follow the road around to the beach.
