Kingston
A
hugely rewarding coast and estuary walk
with peerless views from some of the most
dramatic cliffs in the area. It ends with a huge
vista of South Devon, and the welcoming sight of
Kingston village snuggled amongst the fields.
This walk is particularly good for dogs as it passes a
beach and pub where dogs are welcome.
A
walk that's relaxing and bracing. Beaches
with a lovely lazy feel, refreshing open
clifftops, the timelessly delightful village of
Ringmore tucked away, and enough 'up-anddown' to get the circulation going.
Ringmore
T
ake in the old haunts of Saxons and
smugglers, lush coastline and glittering
sea, then amble back through the green
fields of South Devon.

South Devon is one of the national
"family" of Areas of Outstanding
Natural Beauty. South Devon is
characterised by its peaceful
countryside, pretty villages, rolling
hills, colourful hedge banks, green
lanes, orchards and wooded valleys.
It is an ancient countryside with generations of human
activity etched into the grain of the landscape. Farmers
continue to manage the countryside as they have done
for thousands of years. The AONB supports an
outstanding diversity of habitats, wildlife and landform
features ranging from salt marshes, mud flats and
estuaries to hedges, oak woodlands and coastal
grasslands; and from sea arches, crags and cliffs to
dunes, shingle and reedbeds.
