Local walks
South Devon walking choices are abundant with hundreds of miles of public footpaths and is home to a large section of the South West Coast Path. In addition, you will find Dartmoor presents wonderful moorland walks, Tors and valleys - there really is something for everyone to enjoy no matter their experience, fitness or aptitude.
Of course, not everybody wants to hike for miles and both Torquay and Paignton provides the opportunity for a more gentle stroll along their traditional seafronts and promenades. These two towns are enjoyed by families with children and the older generation that may need to use mobility aids, prams or pushchairs.
Brixham also offers great walks with the famous Breakwater which protects Brixham and stretches for half a mile offshore. It's a lovely walk to the small lighthouse at the end from where you gain a very different view of the harbour and town and where you can view the fishing trawlers coming in to land their catch at the Fish Quay.
As the saying goes, the possibilities are endless!
Choose from our interesting local walking guides.
You can also find a large variety of walks from the South Devon AONB and Visit South Devon websites dedicated walking pages.

Reviews
- A great day out - The railway is fantastic and all the staff were very kind, polite and only to happy to give any assistance necessary. Can't wait to do it all again but with the grandchildren next time. Thank you to all the staff.
- Lovely day out - We decided on a steam train and boat ride day. The train was lovely, and the boat ride was a lot of fun with an entertaining guide, which one of my teenage daughters found hilarious!
- Fantastic visit - We chose to do the steam train and river cruise and it was fantastic. The staff were very helpful. After using the ferry to cross the river we went to find somewhere to have a snack before getting onto the cruise. The commentary was brilliant and we were pointed out different landmarks throughout the cruise. Thank you Dartmouth Steam Railway.
