Look out for dragonflies and herons as you follow the undulating coastal paths. If you are lucky, you might even spot an otter or two in the turquoise waters below. There are many secluded bays and coves in which to take a break, unwrap your sandwiches and take stock of the sea views.</p><p>With its rocky spires and jumbled pinnacles, Bolt Head makes for a supremely impressive objective, particularly when the waves are at their most dynamic. The juxtaposition of ordered hay bales in the harvested fields with savage crags and a rough sea creates a quintessential visage of the pastoral colliding with the untamed.</p><h2>The southernmost land in Devon</h2><p>Perhaps the most challenging hikes around Salcombe are those to be found on the coast around Prawle. After the Lizard in Cornwall, Prawle Point represents the most southerly land in Britain. Its dramatic, craggy coastline takes you onto rugged, rocky trails, so quality hiking boots are essential here. Brace yourself, you will be taking on some heart-thumping clifftop ascents.</p><p>Prawle is one of the richest spots in Devon for wildlife, especially for bird lovers. Autumn sees the annual gathering of finches and warblers, whilst you might even catch the mesmerising sight of a diving peregrine falcon from the cliffs. The region is also well known for its shipwrecks. During low tides you can even see some of the remains of Demetrios, a cargo ship that was wrecked here in 1992.</p><h2>Explore the estuary and beyond</h2><p>The Kingsbridge Estuary has a variety of options for walks around Salcombe. Delightful creeks splay off the central estuary like the branches of a tree. Its fruit is delectable: gentle strolls to lovely viewpoints, such as the popular Snapes Point. From here you’ll have a gorgeous view of the town, its harbour and straight down the barrel of the estuary to the shimmering Channel.</p><p>Beyond the estuary, the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty offers 60 glorious miles (97 km) of magnificent coastline and patchwork countryside. Further north sprawls the atmospheric and wild Dartmoor National Park. This upland region and its famous rocky tors boast some of the finest trails in the south of England.</p><br></p>","faq":[{"question":"Are there many circular walks available around Salcombe?","answer":"Yes, many of the best walks in the Salcombe area are circular, allowing you to enjoy a variety of scenery without having to retrace your steps. These routes often combine coastal paths with inland trails. For a rewarding moderate loop, consider the <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/smarttour/30791931\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">View of Salcombe – Gara Rock Coast Path loop</a>, which offers fantastic coastal views over its 8.2-mile (13.2 km) distance."},{"question":"Are the hiking trails near Salcombe suitable for dogs?","answer":"Salcombe is a very dog-friendly destination. Most of the coastal and countryside paths are great for walking with a dog, but it's wise to keep them on a lead, especially near cliff edges and livestock. Many local pubs and cafes also welcome well-behaved dogs."},{"question":"Where can I find an easy, family-friendly walk?","answer":"For a gentler walk that's great for families, the <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/smarttour/34747775\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Thatched-Roof Cottage – Green Tunnel loop</a> is an excellent choice. It's a relatively flat 3.6-mile (5.9 km) trail with minimal elevation, making it accessible for most abilities and a pleasant outing for the whole family."},{"question":"What should I wear for a coastal walk in Salcombe?","answer":"The weather on the coast can change quickly. It's essential to wear sturdy, comfortable walking shoes or boots with good grip. Layering is key, so a waterproof and windproof jacket is a must, even on sunny days. Also, remember to bring water, sun cream, and a hat."},{"question":"Are there any good walks along the Salcombe Estuary?","answer":"The Salcombe Estuary offers some of the most tranquil and scenic walks in the region. A fantastic option is the <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/smarttour/e1318149148/salcombe-castle-snapes-point-loop-from-salcombe-south-devon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Salcombe Castle & Snapes Point loop</a>. This trail provides stunning panoramic views across the estuary and its many creeks from the popular vantage point at Snapes Point."},{"question":"What makes hiking in Salcombe unique?","answer":"Hiking in Salcombe is defined by its dramatic contrasts. You can experience the rugged, windswept cliffs of the South West Coast Path one moment, and the calm, sheltered waters of the estuary the next. This variety, from sandy coves to lush countryside, all within a compact area, is what makes the region special."},{"question":"How difficult are the hikes around Salcombe?","answer":"The trails cater to a range of fitness levels. While there are plenty of easy, relatively flat walks, many of the iconic coastal routes, like the <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/smarttour/18688755\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sharp Tor Coastal Path – Bolt Head loop</a>, are graded as moderate due to significant and steep elevation changes. Always check the difficulty of a route before you set out."},{"question":"Where is the best place to park for a walk?","answer":"Parking in Salcombe can be limited, especially during peak season. For walks starting from the town, it's best to use the main car parks and walk to the trailhead. For routes starting further out, such as at Bolberry Down or East Soar, there are often dedicated National Trust car parks available, which are a popular choice for hikers."},{"question":"Can I access trailheads using public transport?","answer":"While some trailheads are accessible via local bus services connecting Salcombe with nearby towns and villages, services can be infrequent. A popular option is to use the small passenger ferry that runs between Salcombe and East Portlemouth, which provides direct access to the coastal paths on the other side of the estuary."},{"question":"Are there any walks with a pub or cafe along the way?","answer":"Yes, many routes are planned with a rewarding stop in mind. Several trails pass through or near villages like Hope Cove, which has pubs and cafes perfect for a midway break. Planning your hike to finish back in Salcombe also gives you a wide choice of places to eat and drink after your walk."},{"question":"What do other hikers think of the trails in Salcombe?","answer":"The area is highly regarded by the komoot community, with an average rating of 4.6 stars. Hikers frequently praise the stunning sea views, the well-maintained sections of the South West Coast Path, and the sheer variety of landscapes, from dramatic cliffs to peaceful estuary scenes."},{"question":"Are there any accessible or pushchair-friendly paths?","answer":"While many coastal paths have stiles and steep sections, there are some more accessible options. The path at Bolberry Down is known for being relatively wide and level, making it a good choice for those with sturdy pushchairs or looking for an easier stroll. Always check the specific route details for potential obstacles."}],"shareUrl":"https://www.komoot.com/guide/766227/hiking-around-salcombe","shareUrls":{"en":"https://www.komoot.com/guide/766227/hiking-around-salcombe","de":"https://www.komoot.com/de-de/guide/766227/wandern-rund-um-salcombe"},"pageTitle":"The best walks and hikes around Salcombe","pageDescription":"Browse the best walks around Salcombe and see interactive maps of the top 10\n hiking trails and routes.\n","centroid":{"lat":50.235842708613205,"lng":-3.7791617108162154},"extent":[{"lat":50.214075987417466,"lng":-3.800697501339831},{"lat":50.252358269561554,"lng":-3.757031389284417}],"poorQuality":false,"type":"GUIDE","searchType":"for_region","changedAt":"2026-05-03T14:45:10.377Z","visitors":2079,"ratingCount":120,"ratingScore":4.515110015869141,"introPlain":"Hikes around Salcombe explore the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, following trails along a dramatic coastline and a large estuary.

Look out for dragonflies and herons as you follow the undulating coastal paths. If you are lucky, you might even spot an otter or two in the turquoise waters below. There are many secluded bays and coves in which to take a break, unwrap your sandwiches and take stock of the sea views.</p><p>With its rocky spires and jumbled pinnacles, Bolt Head makes for a supremely impressive objective, particularly when the waves are at their most dynamic. The juxtaposition of ordered hay bales in the harvested fields with savage crags and a rough sea creates a quintessential visage of the pastoral colliding with the untamed.</p><h2>The southernmost land in Devon</h2><p>Perhaps the most challenging hikes around Salcombe are those to be found on the coast around Prawle. After the Lizard in Cornwall, Prawle Point represents the most southerly land in Britain. Its dramatic, craggy coastline takes you onto rugged, rocky trails, so quality hiking boots are essential here. Brace yourself, you will be taking on some heart-thumping clifftop ascents.</p><p>Prawle is one of the richest spots in Devon for wildlife, especially for bird lovers. Autumn sees the annual gathering of finches and warblers, whilst you might even catch the mesmerising sight of a diving peregrine falcon from the cliffs. The region is also well known for its shipwrecks. During low tides you can even see some of the remains of Demetrios, a cargo ship that was wrecked here in 1992.</p><h2>Explore the estuary and beyond</h2><p>The Kingsbridge Estuary has a variety of options for walks around Salcombe. Delightful creeks splay off the central estuary like the branches of a tree. Its fruit is delectable: gentle strolls to lovely viewpoints, such as the popular Snapes Point. From here you’ll have a gorgeous view of the town, its harbour and straight down the barrel of the estuary to the shimmering Channel.</p><p>Beyond the estuary, the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty offers 60 glorious miles (97 km) of magnificent coastline and patchwork countryside. Further north sprawls the atmospheric and wild Dartmoor National Park.

These routes often combine coastal paths with inland trails. For a rewarding moderate loop, consider the <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/smarttour/30791931\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">View of Salcombe – Gara Rock Coast Path loop</a>, which offers fantastic coastal views over its 8.2-mile (13.2 km) distance."},{"question":"Are the hiking trails near Salcombe suitable for dogs?","answer":"Salcombe is a very dog-friendly destination. Most of the coastal and countryside paths are great for walking with a dog, but it's wise to keep them on a lead, especially near cliff edges and livestock. Many local pubs and cafes also welcome well-behaved dogs."},{"question":"Where can I find an easy, family-friendly walk?","answer":"For a gentler walk that's great for families, the <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/smarttour/34747775\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Thatched-Roof Cottage – Green Tunnel loop</a> is an excellent choice. It's a relatively flat 3.6-mile (5.9 km) trail with minimal elevation, making it accessible for most abilities and a pleasant outing for the whole family."},{"question":"What should I wear for a coastal walk in Salcombe?","answer":"The weather on the coast can change quickly. It's essential to wear sturdy, comfortable walking shoes or boots with good grip. Layering is key, so a waterproof and windproof jacket is a must, even on sunny days. Also, remember to bring water, sun cream, and a hat."},{"question":"Are there any good walks along the Salcombe Estuary?","answer":"The Salcombe Estuary offers some of the most tranquil and scenic walks in the region. A fantastic option is the <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/smarttour/e1318149148/salcombe-castle-snapes-point-loop-from-salcombe-south-devon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Salcombe Castle & Snapes Point loop</a>. This trail provides stunning panoramic views across the estuary and its many creeks from the popular vantage point at Snapes Point."},{"question":"What makes hiking in Salcombe unique?","answer":"Hiking in Salcombe is defined by its dramatic contrasts. You can experience the rugged, windswept cliffs of the South West Coast Path one moment, and the calm, sheltered waters of the estuary the next. This variety, from sandy coves to lush countryside, all within a compact area, is what makes the region special."},{"question":"How difficult are the hikes around Salcombe?","answer":"The trails cater to a range of fitness levels. While there are plenty of easy, relatively flat walks, many of the iconic coastal routes, like the <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/smarttour/18688755\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sharp Tor Coastal Path – Bolt Head loop</a>, are graded as moderate due to significant and steep elevation changes. Always check the difficulty of a route before you set out."},{"question":"Where is the best place to park for a walk?","answer":"Parking in Salcombe can be limited, especially during peak season. For walks starting from the town, it's best to use the main car parks and walk to the trailhead. For routes starting further out, such as at Bolberry Down or East Soar, there are often dedicated National Trust car parks available, which are a popular choice for hikers."},{"question":"Can I access trailheads using public transport?","answer":"While some trailheads are accessible via local bus services connecting Salcombe with nearby towns and villages, services can be infrequent. A popular option is to use the small passenger ferry that runs between Salcombe and East Portlemouth, which provides direct access to the coastal paths on the other side of the estuary."},{"question":"Are there any walks with a pub or cafe along the way?","answer":"Yes, many routes are planned with a rewarding stop in mind. Several trails pass through or near villages like Hope Cove, which has pubs and cafes perfect for a midway break. Planning your hike to finish back in Salcombe also gives you a wide choice of places to eat and drink after your walk."},{"question":"What do other hikers think of the trails in Salcombe?","answer":"The area is highly regarded by the komoot community, with an average rating of 4.6 stars. Hikers frequently praise the stunning sea views, the well-maintained sections of the South West Coast Path, and the sheer variety of landscapes, from dramatic cliffs to peaceful estuary scenes."},{"question":"Are there any accessible or pushchair-friendly paths?","answer":"While many coastal paths have stiles and steep sections, there are some more accessible options. The path at Bolberry Down is known for being relatively wide and level, making it a good choice for those with sturdy pushchairs or looking for an easier stroll. Always check the specific route details for potential obstacles."}],"page_title":"The best walks and hikes around Salcombe","page_description":"Browse the best walks around Salcombe and see interactive maps of the top 10\n hiking trails and routes.\n","centroid":{"lat":50.235842708613205,"lng":-3.7791617108162154},"extent":[{"lat":50.214075987417466,"lng":-3.800697501339831},{"lat":50.252358269561554,"lng":-3.757031389284417}],"poor_quality":false,"share_url":"https://www.komoot.com/guide/766227/hiking-around-salcombe","changed_at":"2026-05-03T14:45:10.377Z","visitors":2079,"rating_count":120,"rating_score":4.515110015869141,"searchType":"for_region","_links":{"self":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/guides/766227"},"ancestors":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/guides/766227/ancestors/"},"elements":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/guides/766227/elements/"},"smarttours":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/guides/766227/smarttours/"},"discover_tours":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/guides/766227/discover_tours/"},"highlights":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/guides/766227/highlights/"},"siblings":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/guides/766227/siblings/"},"cousins":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/guides/766227/cousins/"},"subguides":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/guides/766227/subguides/"},"map_image":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/regions/44652/map_image"},"tour_lines":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/guides/766227/tour_lines/"},"saved":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/guides/766227/saved/{username}","templated":true},"cover_image":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/guides/766227/cover_image"},"featured":{"href":"https://www.komoot.com/webapi/v007/guides/766227/featured/"},"seo_guides":{"href":"https://www.komoot.com/webapi/v007/guides/766227/seo_guides/"},"collections":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/guides/766227/collections/"},"weather":{"href":"https://weather-along-tour-api.komoot.de/v1/weather/50.235843,-3.779162"}},"_embedded":{"map_image":{"attribution":"Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors","_links":{"self":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/regions/44652/map_image"},"src":{"href":"https://d2exd72xrrp1s7.cloudfront.net/www/region-map/44652{retina}/189f7d8f496?width={width}&height={height}&crop={crop}","type":"image/*","templated":true}}},"cover_image":{"attribution":"Laura Mencia","attribution_url":"https://www.komoot.de/user/1459731317332","_links":{"self":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/guides/766227/cover_image"},"src":{"href":"https://d2exd72xrrp1s7.cloudfront.net/www/guide/766227/1KgkkM?width={width}&height={height}&crop={crop}","type":"image/*","templated":true}}}}},{"id":766232,"type":"GUIDE","name":"Running Trails around Salcombe","region_name":"Salcombe","region_name_with_prep":"around Salcombe","region_id":44652,"region_type":"town-city","sport":"jogging","intro":"<div class=\"guide-intro\">\n  <p class=\"intro-overview\">\n    Jogging routes around Salcombe offer diverse terrain within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, characterized by its dramatic coastline and picturesque estuary.

West Coast Path — Part 3 — Conquer Britain's longest trail","intro":"This Collection explores a stunning section of the South West Coast Path between The Lizard, in Cornwall, and Torcross, in Devon.\r\n\r\nCovering a wonderfully-unspoilt section of the coastline, these spectacular hikes take you to rugged headlands, picturesque villages, hidden bays, historic sites, lush farmland pastures, and plenty of beautiful beaches.\r\n\r\nThere is lots of flora and fauna to see in these routes. Migrating birds arrive on this section of coastline first and leave it last. In summer, much of the grassland erupts into a sea of wildflowers, and you will pass some internationally-significant geology. \r\n\r\nThe first seven routes in this Collection combine to make a leisurely section of the Coast Path overall. The latter six routes explore a stretch of coastline that is recognized as a Site of Special Scientific Interest due to its wildlife and geology.\r\n\r\nThe South West Coast Path is Britain's longest, and one of its most-loved, national trails. It stretches 630 miles (1,014 kilometers) along the coast of Somerset, Cornwall, Devon, and Dorset. \r\n\r\nThere is no set itinerary to complete the trail. However, in this series of Collections we will conquer the trail in 52 days, split over eight weeks, starting from Minehead and finishing at South Haven Point. As always, of course, you can split up each stage to as many days as you are comfortable with.\r\n\r\nIf you are using public transport to undertake the routes in this Collection, you will need to catch a train to Plymouth railway station, which is served by direct trains from London and Bristol. From there, you would need to catch a train to Redruth railway station, then catch the L1 bus service to The Lizard.\r\n\r\nTo get home, you would need to catch the number three bus service from Torcross to Plymouth. From the city centre, it is a 20-minute walk to the railway station. \r\n\r\nIf you are planning to arrive by car, your best bet is to negotiate with a hotel or B&B a rate to stay for a night either side of your hike on The Lizard and to park your car for the duration. To get home, you would need to catch the number three bus service from Torcross to Plymouth, then catch a train from Plymouth to Redruth, and finally the L1 bus service from Redruth to The Lizard.\r\n\r\nIn order to see the whole South West Coast Path, click the links below to see more Collections.\r\n\r\nPart 1: https://www.komoot.com/collection/887617.\r\nPart 2: https://www.komoot.com/collection/887634.\r\nPart 4: https://www.komoot.com/collection/887875.","type":"collection_editorial","status":"public","sport":"hike","tags":["long-distance","autumn","summer","spring","coastal","official"],"multi_day":true,"creator_no_subscription":false,"intro_plain":"This Collection explores a stunning section of the South West Coast Path between The Lizard, in Cornwall, and Torcross, in Devon.\r\n\r\nCovering a wonderfully-unspoilt section of the coastline, these spectacular hikes take you to rugged headlands, picturesque villages, hidden bays, historic sites, lush farmland pastures, and plenty of beautiful beaches.\r\n\r\nThere is lots of flora and fauna to see in these routes.

It stretches 630 miles (1,014 kilometers) along the coast of Somerset, Cornwall, Devon, and Dorset. \r\n\r\nThere is no set itinerary to complete the trail. However, in this series of Collections we will conquer the trail in 52 days, split over eight weeks, starting from Minehead and finishing at South Haven Point. As always, of course, you can split up each stage to as many days as you are comfortable with.\r\n\r\nIf you are using public transport to undertake the routes in this Collection, you will need to catch a train to Plymouth railway station, which is served by direct trains from London and Bristol. From there, you would need to catch a train to Redruth railway station, then catch the L1 bus service to The Lizard.\r\n\r\nTo get home, you would need to catch the number three bus service from Torcross to Plymouth. From the city centre, it is a 20-minute walk to the railway station. \r\n\r\nIf you are planning to arrive by car, your best bet is to negotiate with a hotel or B&B a rate to stay for a night either side of your hike on The Lizard and to park your car for the duration. To get home, you would need to catch the number three bus service from Torcross to Plymouth, then catch a train from Plymouth to Redruth, and finally the L1 bus service from Redruth to The Lizard.\r\n\r\nIn order to see the whole South West Coast Path, click the links below to see more Collections.\r\n\r\nPart 1: https://www.komoot.com/collection/887617.\r\nPart 2: https://www.komoot.com/collection/887634.\r\nPart 4: https://www.komoot.com/collection/887875.","share_url":"https://www.komoot.com/collection/887746/south-west-coast-path-part-3-conquer-britain-s-longest-trail","_links":{"self":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/collections/887746"},"creator":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/users/komoot/profile_embedded"},"cover_image":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/collections/887746/cover_image"},"summary":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/collections/887746/summary"},"compilation":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/collections/887746/compilation/"},"compilation_lines":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/collections/887746/compilation_lines/"},"compilation_lines_extended":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/collections/887746/compilation_lines_extended/"},"comments":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/collections/887746/comments/"},"upvoting_users":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/collections/887746/upvoting_users/"},"saved":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/collections/887746/saved/{username}","templated":true},"added":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/collections/887746/compilation/{added_type}/{added_id}","templated":true},"upvotes":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/collections/887746/upvotes/{username}","templated":true},"related":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/collections/887746/related/"},"content":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/collections/887746/content"},"sponsored_cta":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/collections/887746/sponsored_cta"},"main_tour":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/tours/576446380"},"comments_mentions":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/collections/887746/comments/?supported_text_entities=user_mention"},"mentionables":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/collections/887746/mentionable/"},"share_token":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/collections/887746/share_token"}},"_embedded":{"summary":{"highlight":{"total":0},"tour_recorded":{"total":0,"distance":0,"duration":0,"elevation":0,"elevation_down":0},"tour_planned":{"total":13,"distance":274076,"duration":268749,"elevation":4000,"elevation_down":4048,"elevation_up":4000},"upvote":{"total":68},"comment":{"total":2},"_links":{"self":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/collections/887746/summary"}}},"sponsored_cta":{"_links":{"self":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/collections/887746/sponsored_cta"}}}}},{"id":887617,"name":"South West Coast Path — Explore Britain's longest trail","intro":"The South West Coast Path is the longest national trail in Britain and explores some of its most cherished coastal landscapes. Stretching more than 630 miles (1,014 km) along the coast of Somerset, Cornwall, Devon and Dorset, the trail offers the ultimate challenge for long-distance walkers.\r\n\r\nVariety is the very essence of the Coast Path. From craggy cliffs to golden beaches, remote fishing villages to bustling seaside destinations, wildlife havens to idyllic harbours, majestic moorland to marine habitats, epic rock formations to chalk grasslands – there truly is something for everyone.\r\n\r\nAlong the trail, you wander through some internationally-important habitats and see the only place in the world that displays 185 million years of geological evolution in the cliffs and rocks, the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site.\r\n\r\nYou also see evidence from thousands of years of people living, working and battling along the coastline, whilst exploring some of the finest cliff-top trails, best beaches, cleanest seas and most picturesque fishing villages Britain has to offer.\r\n\r\nIn this Collection, I’ve divided the route into 52 stages of between 6 and 17 miles (10 – 27 km), starting at Minehead in Somerset and ending at South Haven Point, overlooking Poole Harbour in Dorset. This itinerary is the standard way to complete the South West Coast Path. \r\n\r\nYou can, of course, break the route down into as many days as you feel comfortable with, walk individual sections and complete it in the opposite direction. In fact, due to its length, the vast majority of people tackle short sections and complete the route over an extended timeframe. Many of these Tours make excellent day hikes, too. \r\n\r\nOn balance, the Path is a challenging hike. The total ascent is 58,00 feet (17,678 m) – the equivalent of climbing Mount Everest twice. You’ll need good fitness, stamina and technical ability to take on this challenge. \r\n\r\nFor the most part, you’re never too far away from civilisation. However, the trail gets very remote at times as you head east. As such, ensure you have enough water and snacks to keep you sustained. Sturdy footwear and waterproofs are essential. Be sure to pack sunscreen, especially in the summer months. You can hike this route at any time of year and each season offers a unique perspective on the scenery. \r\n\r\nPublic transport links are fairly good along the trail. To get to the start, the nearest train station is Taunton. From there, you can catch the 28 bus service to Minehead. The end of the trail, in Poole, has good public transport links including a train station.","type":"collection_editorial","status":"public","sport":"hike","tags":["historic","self-supported","long-distance","gorges","peaks","swimming-lakes","breathtaking-views","winter","autumn","summer","spring","publictransport","coastal","official"],"multi_day":true,"creator_no_subscription":false,"intro_plain":"The South West Coast Path is the longest national trail in Britain and explores some of its most cherished coastal landscapes.

West Coast Path — Part 3 — Conquer Britain's longest trail","intro":"This Collection explores a stunning section of the South West Coast Path between The Lizard, in Cornwall, and Torcross, in Devon.\r\n\r\nCovering a wonderfully-unspoilt section of the coastline, these spectacular hikes take you to rugged headlands, picturesque villages, hidden bays, historic sites, lush farmland pastures, and plenty of beautiful beaches.\r\n\r\nThere is lots of flora and fauna to see in these routes. Migrating birds arrive on this section of coastline first and leave it last. In summer, much of the grassland erupts into a sea of wildflowers, and you will pass some internationally-significant geology. \r\n\r\nThe first seven routes in this Collection combine to make a leisurely section of the Coast Path overall. The latter six routes explore a stretch of coastline that is recognized as a Site of Special Scientific Interest due to its wildlife and geology.\r\n\r\nThe South West Coast Path is Britain's longest, and one of its most-loved, national trails. It stretches 630 miles (1,014 kilometers) along the coast of Somerset, Cornwall, Devon, and Dorset. \r\n\r\nThere is no set itinerary to complete the trail. However, in this series of Collections we will conquer the trail in 52 days, split over eight weeks, starting from Minehead and finishing at South Haven Point. As always, of course, you can split up each stage to as many days as you are comfortable with.\r\n\r\nIf you are using public transport to undertake the routes in this Collection, you will need to catch a train to Plymouth railway station, which is served by direct trains from London and Bristol. From there, you would need to catch a train to Redruth railway station, then catch the L1 bus service to The Lizard.\r\n\r\nTo get home, you would need to catch the number three bus service from Torcross to Plymouth. From the city centre, it is a 20-minute walk to the railway station. \r\n\r\nIf you are planning to arrive by car, your best bet is to negotiate with a hotel or B&B a rate to stay for a night either side of your hike on The Lizard and to park your car for the duration. To get home, you would need to catch the number three bus service from Torcross to Plymouth, then catch a train from Plymouth to Redruth, and finally the L1 bus service from Redruth to The Lizard.\r\n\r\nIn order to see the whole South West Coast Path, click the links below to see more Collections.\r\n\r\nPart 1: https://www.komoot.com/collection/887617.\r\nPart 2: https://www.komoot.com/collection/887634.\r\nPart 4: https://www.komoot.com/collection/887875.","type":"collection_editorial","status":"public","sport":"hike","tags":["long-distance","autumn","summer","spring","coastal","official"],"multi_day":true,"creator_no_subscription":false,"intro_plain":"This Collection explores a stunning section of the South West Coast Path between The Lizard, in Cornwall, and Torcross, in Devon.\r\n\r\nCovering a wonderfully-unspoilt section of the coastline, these spectacular hikes take you to rugged headlands, picturesque villages, hidden bays, historic sites, lush farmland pastures, and plenty of beautiful beaches.\r\n\r\nThere is lots of flora and fauna to see in these routes.

Stretching more than 630 miles (1,014 km) along the coast of Somerset, Cornwall, Devon and Dorset, the trail offers the ultimate challenge for long-distance walkers.\r\n\r\nVariety is the very essence of the Coast Path. From craggy cliffs to golden beaches, remote fishing villages to bustling seaside destinations, wildlife havens to idyllic harbours, majestic moorland to marine habitats, epic rock formations to chalk grasslands – there truly is something for everyone.\r\n\r\nAlong the trail, you wander through some internationally-important habitats and see the only place in the world that displays 185 million years of geological evolution in the cliffs and rocks, the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site.\r\n\r\nYou also see evidence from thousands of years of people living, working and battling along the coastline, whilst exploring some of the finest cliff-top trails, best beaches, cleanest seas and most picturesque fishing villages Britain has to offer.\r\n\r\nIn this Collection, I’ve divided the route into 52 stages of between 6 and 17 miles (10 – 27 km), starting at Minehead in Somerset and ending at South Haven Point, overlooking Poole Harbour in Dorset. This itinerary is the standard way to complete the South West Coast Path. \r\n\r\nYou can, of course, break the route down into as many days as you feel comfortable with, walk individual sections and complete it in the opposite direction. In fact, due to its length, the vast majority of people tackle short sections and complete the route over an extended timeframe. Many of these Tours make excellent day hikes, too. \r\n\r\nOn balance, the Path is a challenging hike. The total ascent is 58,00 feet (17,678 m) – the equivalent of climbing Mount Everest twice. You’ll need good fitness, stamina and technical ability to take on this challenge. \r\n\r\nFor the most part, you’re never too far away from civilisation. However, the trail gets very remote at times as you head east. As such, ensure you have enough water and snacks to keep you sustained. Sturdy footwear and waterproofs are essential. Be sure to pack sunscreen, especially in the summer months. You can hike this route at any time of year and each season offers a unique perspective on the scenery. \r\n\r\nPublic transport links are fairly good along the trail. To get to the start, the nearest train station is Taunton. From there, you can catch the 28 bus service to Minehead. The end of the trail, in Poole, has good public transport links including a train station.","type":"collection_editorial","status":"public","sport":"hike","tags":["historic","self-supported","long-distance","gorges","peaks","swimming-lakes","breathtaking-views","winter","autumn","summer","spring","publictransport","coastal","official"],"multi_day":true,"creator_no_subscription":false,"intro_plain":"The South West Coast Path is the longest national trail in Britain and explores some of its most cherished coastal landscapes.

Look out for dragonflies and herons as you follow the undulating coastal paths. If you are lucky, you might even spot an otter or two in the turquoise waters below. There are many secluded bays and coves in which to take a break, unwrap your sandwiches and take stock of the sea views.</p><p>With its rocky spires and jumbled pinnacles, Bolt Head makes for a supremely impressive objective, particularly when the waves are at their most dynamic. The juxtaposition of ordered hay bales in the harvested fields with savage crags and a rough sea creates a quintessential visage of the pastoral colliding with the untamed.</p><h2>The southernmost land in Devon</h2><p>Perhaps the most challenging hikes around Salcombe are those to be found on the coast around Prawle. After the Lizard in Cornwall, Prawle Point represents the most southerly land in Britain. Its dramatic, craggy coastline takes you onto rugged, rocky trails, so quality hiking boots are essential here. Brace yourself, you will be taking on some heart-thumping clifftop ascents.</p><p>Prawle is one of the richest spots in Devon for wildlife, especially for bird lovers. Autumn sees the annual gathering of finches and warblers, whilst you might even catch the mesmerising sight of a diving peregrine falcon from the cliffs. The region is also well known for its shipwrecks. During low tides you can even see some of the remains of Demetrios, a cargo ship that was wrecked here in 1992.</p><h2>Explore the estuary and beyond</h2><p>The Kingsbridge Estuary has a variety of options for walks around Salcombe. Delightful creeks splay off the central estuary like the branches of a tree. Its fruit is delectable: gentle strolls to lovely viewpoints, such as the popular Snapes Point. From here you’ll have a gorgeous view of the town, its harbour and straight down the barrel of the estuary to the shimmering Channel.</p><p>Beyond the estuary, the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty offers 60 glorious miles (97 km) of magnificent coastline and patchwork countryside. Further north sprawls the atmospheric and wild Dartmoor National Park. This upland region and its famous rocky tors boast some of the finest trails in the south of England.</p><br></p>","faq":[{"question":"Are there many circular walks available around Salcombe?","answer":"Yes, many of the best walks in the Salcombe area are circular, allowing you to enjoy a variety of scenery without having to retrace your steps. These routes often combine coastal paths with inland trails. For a rewarding moderate loop, consider the <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/smarttour/30791931\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">View of Salcombe – Gara Rock Coast Path loop</a>, which offers fantastic coastal views over its 8.2-mile (13.2 km) distance."},{"question":"Are the hiking trails near Salcombe suitable for dogs?","answer":"Salcombe is a very dog-friendly destination. Most of the coastal and countryside paths are great for walking with a dog, but it's wise to keep them on a lead, especially near cliff edges and livestock. Many local pubs and cafes also welcome well-behaved dogs."},{"question":"Where can I find an easy, family-friendly walk?","answer":"For a gentler walk that's great for families, the <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/smarttour/34747775\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Thatched-Roof Cottage – Green Tunnel loop</a> is an excellent choice. It's a relatively flat 3.6-mile (5.9 km) trail with minimal elevation, making it accessible for most abilities and a pleasant outing for the whole family."},{"question":"What should I wear for a coastal walk in Salcombe?","answer":"The weather on the coast can change quickly. It's essential to wear sturdy, comfortable walking shoes or boots with good grip. Layering is key, so a waterproof and windproof jacket is a must, even on sunny days. Also, remember to bring water, sun cream, and a hat."},{"question":"Are there any good walks along the Salcombe Estuary?","answer":"The Salcombe Estuary offers some of the most tranquil and scenic walks in the region. A fantastic option is the <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/smarttour/e1318149148/salcombe-castle-snapes-point-loop-from-salcombe-south-devon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Salcombe Castle & Snapes Point loop</a>. This trail provides stunning panoramic views across the estuary and its many creeks from the popular vantage point at Snapes Point."},{"question":"What makes hiking in Salcombe unique?","answer":"Hiking in Salcombe is defined by its dramatic contrasts. You can experience the rugged, windswept cliffs of the South West Coast Path one moment, and the calm, sheltered waters of the estuary the next. This variety, from sandy coves to lush countryside, all within a compact area, is what makes the region special."},{"question":"How difficult are the hikes around Salcombe?","answer":"The trails cater to a range of fitness levels. While there are plenty of easy, relatively flat walks, many of the iconic coastal routes, like the <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/smarttour/18688755\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sharp Tor Coastal Path – Bolt Head loop</a>, are graded as moderate due to significant and steep elevation changes. Always check the difficulty of a route before you set out."},{"question":"Where is the best place to park for a walk?","answer":"Parking in Salcombe can be limited, especially during peak season. For walks starting from the town, it's best to use the main car parks and walk to the trailhead. For routes starting further out, such as at Bolberry Down or East Soar, there are often dedicated National Trust car parks available, which are a popular choice for hikers."},{"question":"Can I access trailheads using public transport?","answer":"While some trailheads are accessible via local bus services connecting Salcombe with nearby towns and villages, services can be infrequent. A popular option is to use the small passenger ferry that runs between Salcombe and East Portlemouth, which provides direct access to the coastal paths on the other side of the estuary."},{"question":"Are there any walks with a pub or cafe along the way?","answer":"Yes, many routes are planned with a rewarding stop in mind. Several trails pass through or near villages like Hope Cove, which has pubs and cafes perfect for a midway break. Planning your hike to finish back in Salcombe also gives you a wide choice of places to eat and drink after your walk."},{"question":"What do other hikers think of the trails in Salcombe?","answer":"The area is highly regarded by the komoot community, with an average rating of 4.6 stars. Hikers frequently praise the stunning sea views, the well-maintained sections of the South West Coast Path, and the sheer variety of landscapes, from dramatic cliffs to peaceful estuary scenes."},{"question":"Are there any accessible or pushchair-friendly paths?","answer":"While many coastal paths have stiles and steep sections, there are some more accessible options. The path at Bolberry Down is known for being relatively wide and level, making it a good choice for those with sturdy pushchairs or looking for an easier stroll. Always check the specific route details for potential obstacles."}],"page_title":"The best walks and hikes around Salcombe","page_description":"Browse the best walks around Salcombe and see interactive maps of the top 10\n hiking trails and routes.\n","centroid":{"lat":50.235842708613205,"lng":-3.7791617108162154},"extent":[{"lat":50.214075987417466,"lng":-3.800697501339831},{"lat":50.252358269561554,"lng":-3.757031389284417}],"poor_quality":false,"share_url":"https://www.komoot.com/guide/766227/hiking-around-salcombe","changed_at":"2026-05-03T14:45:10.377Z","visitors":2079,"rating_count":120,"rating_score":4.515110015869141,"searchType":"for_region","_links":{"self":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/guides/766227"},"ancestors":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/guides/766227/ancestors/"},"elements":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/guides/766227/elements/"},"smarttours":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/guides/766227/smarttours/"},"discover_tours":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/guides/766227/discover_tours/"},"highlights":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/guides/766227/highlights/"},"siblings":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/guides/766227/siblings/"},"cousins":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/guides/766227/cousins/"},"subguides":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/guides/766227/subguides/"},"map_image":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/regions/44652/map_image"},"tour_lines":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/guides/766227/tour_lines/"},"saved":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/guides/766227/saved/{username}","templated":true},"cover_image":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/guides/766227/cover_image"},"featured":{"href":"https://www.komoot.com/webapi/v007/guides/766227/featured/"},"seo_guides":{"href":"https://www.komoot.com/webapi/v007/guides/766227/seo_guides/"},"collections":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/guides/766227/collections/"},"weather":{"href":"https://weather-along-tour-api.komoot.de/v1/weather/50.235843,-3.779162"}},"_embedded":{"map_image":{"attribution":"Map data © OpenStreetMap contributors","_links":{"self":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/regions/44652/map_image"},"src":{"href":"https://d2exd72xrrp1s7.cloudfront.net/www/region-map/44652{retina}/189f7d8f496?width={width}&height={height}&crop={crop}","type":"image/*","templated":true}}},"cover_image":{"attribution":"Laura Mencia","attribution_url":"https://www.komoot.de/user/1459731317332","_links":{"self":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/guides/766227/cover_image"},"src":{"href":"https://d2exd72xrrp1s7.cloudfront.net/www/guide/766227/1KgkkM?width={width}&height={height}&crop={crop}","type":"image/*","templated":true}}}}},{"id":766232,"type":"GUIDE","name":"Running Trails around Salcombe","region_name":"Salcombe","region_name_with_prep":"around Salcombe","region_id":44652,"region_type":"town-city","sport":"jogging","intro":"<div class=\"guide-intro\">\n  <p class=\"intro-overview\">\n    Jogging routes around Salcombe offer diverse terrain within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, characterized by its dramatic coastline and picturesque estuary.

class=\"guide-intro\">\n  <p class=\"intro-overview\">\n    Mountain biking in the United Kingdom offers diverse and accessible landscapes, from rugged mountains and ancient forests to rolling hills and extensive trail networks.

Look out for dragonflies and herons as you follow the undulating coastal paths. If you are lucky, you might even spot an otter or two in the turquoise waters below. There are many secluded bays and coves in which to take a break, unwrap your sandwiches and take stock of the sea views.</p><p>With its rocky spires and jumbled pinnacles, Bolt Head makes for a supremely impressive objective, particularly when the waves are at their most dynamic. The juxtaposition of ordered hay bales in the harvested fields with savage crags and a rough sea creates a quintessential visage of the pastoral colliding with the untamed.</p><h2>The southernmost land in Devon</h2><p>Perhaps the most challenging hikes around Salcombe are those to be found on the coast around Prawle. After the Lizard in Cornwall, Prawle Point represents the most southerly land in Britain. Its dramatic, craggy coastline takes you onto rugged, rocky trails, so quality hiking boots are essential here. Brace yourself, you will be taking on some heart-thumping clifftop ascents.</p><p>Prawle is one of the richest spots in Devon for wildlife, especially for bird lovers. Autumn sees the annual gathering of finches and warblers, whilst you might even catch the mesmerising sight of a diving peregrine falcon from the cliffs. The region is also well known for its shipwrecks. During low tides you can even see some of the remains of Demetrios, a cargo ship that was wrecked here in 1992.</p><h2>Explore the estuary and beyond</h2><p>The Kingsbridge Estuary has a variety of options for walks around Salcombe. Delightful creeks splay off the central estuary like the branches of a tree. Its fruit is delectable: gentle strolls to lovely viewpoints, such as the popular Snapes Point. From here you’ll have a gorgeous view of the town, its harbour and straight down the barrel of the estuary to the shimmering Channel.</p><p>Beyond the estuary, the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty offers 60 glorious miles (97 km) of magnificent coastline and patchwork countryside. Further north sprawls the atmospheric and wild Dartmoor National Park. This upland region and its famous rocky tors boast some of the finest trails in the south of England.</p><br></p>","faq":[{"question":"Are there many circular walks available around Salcombe?","answer":"Yes, many of the best walks in the Salcombe area are circular, allowing you to enjoy a variety of scenery without having to retrace your steps.

Look out for dragonflies and herons as you follow the undulating coastal paths. If you are lucky, you might even spot an otter or two in the turquoise waters below. There are many secluded bays and coves in which to take a break, unwrap your sandwiches and take stock of the sea views.</p><p>With its rocky spires and jumbled pinnacles, Bolt Head makes for a supremely impressive objective, particularly when the waves are at their most dynamic. The juxtaposition of ordered hay bales in the harvested fields with savage crags and a rough sea creates a quintessential visage of the pastoral colliding with the untamed.</p><h2>The southernmost land in Devon</h2><p>Perhaps the most challenging hikes around Salcombe are those to be found on the coast around Prawle. After the Lizard in Cornwall, Prawle Point represents the most southerly land in Britain. Its dramatic, craggy coastline takes you onto rugged, rocky trails, so quality hiking boots are essential here. Brace yourself, you will be taking on some heart-thumping clifftop ascents.</p><p>Prawle is one of the richest spots in Devon for wildlife, especially for bird lovers. Autumn sees the annual gathering of finches and warblers, whilst you might even catch the mesmerising sight of a diving peregrine falcon from the cliffs. The region is also well known for its shipwrecks. During low tides you can even see some of the remains of Demetrios, a cargo ship that was wrecked here in 1992.</p><h2>Explore the estuary and beyond</h2><p>The Kingsbridge Estuary has a variety of options for walks around Salcombe. Delightful creeks splay off the central estuary like the branches of a tree. Its fruit is delectable: gentle strolls to lovely viewpoints, such as the popular Snapes Point. From here you’ll have a gorgeous view of the town, its harbour and straight down the barrel of the estuary to the shimmering Channel.</p><p>Beyond the estuary, the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty offers 60 glorious miles (97 km) of magnificent coastline and patchwork countryside. Further north sprawls the atmospheric and wild Dartmoor National Park. This upland region and its famous rocky tors boast some of the finest trails in the south of England.</p><br></p>","faq":[{"question":"Are there many circular walks available around Salcombe?","answer":"Yes, many of the best walks in the Salcombe area are circular, allowing you to enjoy a variety of scenery without having to retrace your steps. These routes often combine coastal paths with inland trails. For a rewarding moderate loop, consider the <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/smarttour/30791931\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">View of Salcombe – Gara Rock Coast Path loop</a>, which offers fantastic coastal views over its 8.2-mile (13.2 km) distance."},{"question":"Are the hiking trails near Salcombe suitable for dogs?","answer":"Salcombe is a very dog-friendly destination. Most of the coastal and countryside paths are great for walking with a dog, but it's wise to keep them on a lead, especially near cliff edges and livestock. Many local pubs and cafes also welcome well-behaved dogs."},{"question":"Where can I find an easy, family-friendly walk?","answer":"For a gentler walk that's great for families, the <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/smarttour/34747775\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Thatched-Roof Cottage – Green Tunnel loop</a> is an excellent choice. It's a relatively flat 3.6-mile (5.9 km) trail with minimal elevation, making it accessible for most abilities and a pleasant outing for the whole family."},{"question":"What should I wear for a coastal walk in Salcombe?","answer":"The weather on the coast can change quickly. It's essential to wear sturdy, comfortable walking shoes or boots with good grip. Layering is key, so a waterproof and windproof jacket is a must, even on sunny days. Also, remember to bring water, sun cream, and a hat."},{"question":"Are there any good walks along the Salcombe Estuary?","answer":"The Salcombe Estuary offers some of the most tranquil and scenic walks in the region. A fantastic option is the <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/smarttour/e1318149148/salcombe-castle-snapes-point-loop-from-salcombe-south-devon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Salcombe Castle & Snapes Point loop</a>. This trail provides stunning panoramic views across the estuary and its many creeks from the popular vantage point at Snapes Point."},{"question":"What makes hiking in Salcombe unique?","answer":"Hiking in Salcombe is defined by its dramatic contrasts. You can experience the rugged, windswept cliffs of the South West Coast Path one moment, and the calm, sheltered waters of the estuary the next. This variety, from sandy coves to lush countryside, all within a compact area, is what makes the region special."},{"question":"How difficult are the hikes around Salcombe?","answer":"The trails cater to a range of fitness levels. While there are plenty of easy, relatively flat walks, many of the iconic coastal routes, like the <a href=\"https://www.komoot.com/smarttour/18688755\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sharp Tor Coastal Path – Bolt Head loop</a>, are graded as moderate due to significant and steep elevation changes. Always check the difficulty of a route before you set out."},{"question":"Where is the best place to park for a walk?","answer":"Parking in Salcombe can be limited, especially during peak season. For walks starting from the town, it's best to use the main car parks and walk to the trailhead. For routes starting further out, such as at Bolberry Down or East Soar, there are often dedicated National Trust car parks available, which are a popular choice for hikers."},{"question":"Can I access trailheads using public transport?","answer":"While some trailheads are accessible via local bus services connecting Salcombe with nearby towns and villages, services can be infrequent. A popular option is to use the small passenger ferry that runs between Salcombe and East Portlemouth, which provides direct access to the coastal paths on the other side of the estuary."},{"question":"Are there any walks with a pub or cafe along the way?","answer":"Yes, many routes are planned with a rewarding stop in mind. Several trails pass through or near villages like Hope Cove, which has pubs and cafes perfect for a midway break. Planning your hike to finish back in Salcombe also gives you a wide choice of places to eat and drink after your walk."},{"question":"What do other hikers think of the trails in Salcombe?","answer":"The area is highly regarded by the komoot community, with an average rating of 4.6 stars. Hikers frequently praise the stunning sea views, the well-maintained sections of the South West Coast Path, and the sheer variety of landscapes, from dramatic cliffs to peaceful estuary scenes."},{"question":"Are there any accessible or pushchair-friendly paths?","answer":"While many coastal paths have stiles and steep sections, there are some more accessible options. The path at Bolberry Down is known for being relatively wide and level, making it a good choice for those with sturdy pushchairs or looking for an easier stroll. Always check the specific route details for potential obstacles."}],"shareUrl":"https://www.komoot.com/guide/766227/hiking-around-salcombe","shareUrls":{"en":"https://www.komoot.com/guide/766227/hiking-around-salcombe","de":"https://www.komoot.com/de-de/guide/766227/wandern-rund-um-salcombe"},"pageTitle":"The best walks and hikes around Salcombe","pageDescription":"Browse the best walks around Salcombe and see interactive maps of the top 10\n hiking trails and routes.\n","centroid":{"lat":50.235842708613205,"lng":-3.7791617108162154},"extent":[{"lat":50.214075987417466,"lng":-3.800697501339831},{"lat":50.252358269561554,"lng":-3.757031389284417}],"poorQuality":false,"type":"GUIDE","searchType":"for_region","changedAt":"2026-05-03T14:45:10.377Z","visitors":2079,"ratingCount":120,"ratingScore":4.515110015869141,"introPlain":"Hikes around Salcombe explore the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, following trails along a dramatic coastline and a large estuary.

So the Abbot petitioned the Crown for permission to hold a market at Kingsbridge and a Royal Charter was granted. As a Market Town, Kingsbridge has thrived through its independent businesses, often family-run for generations and relying upon the local community's support.\n\nA small chapel existed on the site of St. Edmund's Church in the 13th century but the burial ground was at Churchstow, a village two miles to the west. In 1309 the parishioners petitioned the Bishop and complained of the difficulty of carrying their dead \"up the mountain\" to Churchstow for burial. However it was more than 100 years before permission was granted \"to the Abbot and monks of Buckfast to\n\nbuild a church in honour of the blessed Edmund, King and Martyr in their demesne and the vill which is called Kingsbrigg\".\n\nIn 1798 the town mills were converted into a woollen manufactory, which produced large quantities of cloth. During the 19th century the town had an active coastal shipping trade, shipbuilding, a tannery and a large monthly cattle market. The chief exports were cider, corn, malt and slate.","rating":{"up":0,"down":0},"created_at":"2024-05-28T08:45:55.189Z","highlight_id":6665603,"sport":"touringbicycle","_links":{"self":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/highlights/6665603/tips/6384753"},"creator":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/users/541596374101/profile_embedded"},"highlight":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/highlights/6665603"},"rating":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/highlights/6665603/tips/6384753/rating/{username}","templated":true}},"_embedded":{"highlight":{"id":6665603,"name":"Kingsbridge Market Square"},"creator":{"username":"541596374101","avatar":{"src":"https://d2exd72xrrp1s7.cloudfront.net/www/1u/1u1hw7r32eur4jt2mtmky06iq2etnxf9y-u541596374101-full/19c95b2a175/p?width={width}&height={height}&crop={crop}","templated":true,"type":"image/*"},"status":"public","_links":{"self":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/users/541596374101/profile_embedded"},"relation":{"href":"https://api.komoot.de/v007/users/{username}/relations/541596374101","templated":true}},"display_name":"Andy Smith","is_premium":false}}}],"dataUpdateCount":1,"dataUpdatedAt":1778078188652,"error":null,"errorUpdateCount":0,"errorUpdatedAt":0,"fetchFailureCount":0,"fetchFailureReason":null,"fetchMeta":null,"isInvalidated":false,"status":"success","fetchStatus":"idle"},"queryKey":["guideTips","766228"],"queryHash":"[\"guideTips\",\"766228\"]"}]}}
