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
- Stunning views - The views from the boat were stunning and the handy (and hilarious) commentary by the crew helped point out things of local interest. Loved it :)
- Grand day out! - I thoroughly enjoyed the whole trip, from the steam train to the ferry ride and of course, the boat trip. The designated seating and screens made me feel very safe. Well done!
- Atmospheric steam train - We took the steam train from Paignton to Kingswear and then the ferry to Dartmouth (inc in the ticket). It was a trip back in time and most enjoyable, despite the very rainy weather! Good value for money.
