5 of our favourite Dartmouth walks<\/strong><\/h2>\n

<\/a>Dartmouth to Blackpool Sands<\/h3>\n

Distance:<\/strong>\u00a010 \u2013 11 miles (mostly circular)
\nStarting point:<\/strong>\u00a0Dartmouth town centre<\/p>\n

\"Dartmouth<\/p>\n

One of the more arduous Dartmouth walks, the Dartmouth to Blackpool Sands trail is perfect for those in search of a challenge, and whilst the hills are steep and strenuous, it certainly provides equal reward with regards to its natural beauty. The stunning views start from the get go, with the picturesque harbour and multi-coloured houses of Kingswear giving way to views of the wooded estuary banks guarded by\u00a0Dartmouth Castle<\/a>. Before long you\u2019ll reach peaceful Warfleet Creek, woods around Gallant\u2019s Bower and then the\u00a0South West Coast Path<\/a>\u00a0all within the first 20 minutes! As if this wasn\u2019t enough, once you head out of\u00a0Compass Valley<\/a>\u00a0the sea views are expansive – on a clear day the vistas even stretch as far as Start Point Lighthouse!<\/p>\n

After passing through the stretch of coast path at Little Dartmouth, you will reach the village of Stoke Fleming, which is home to the\u00a0The Green Dragon<\/a>\u00a0pub. Be sure to stop at this friendly eatery for a tipple or two – it\u2019s almost a rite of passage for passing ramblers and their four-legged friends. Most importantly you can expect to receive a warm welcome, and we highly recommend stopping here for a bite to eat if time permits. Alternatively, you will find various perfectly positioned picnic benches, nestled in beauty spots along the way, for an al fresco bite to eat – we love to pack a generous helping of jam and scones and enjoy them on the cliff tops with lashing of Devonshire clotted cream. Don\u2019t get too comfortable though, because it\u2019s not until you reach the destination of\u00a0Blackpool Sands<\/a>, situated at the southern end of Start Bay, that you can really kick back and relax.<\/p>\n

A blue flag awarded beach, Blackpool Sands is a honeypot of activity all year round and is the perfect spot to spend a few hours of downtime. Not only is it drenched in natural beauty but it is served by excellent facilities – a beach shop, caf\u00e9, toilets, showers, seasonal lifeguard and watersports equipment should you have any additional energy left to exert! Be warned, with so many things to do on offer at Blackpool Sands it can be easy to lose track of time, so be mindful that you still have the return leg of the journey to complete. Whilst this walk is mostly circular, if you haven\u2019t left enough time or you\u2019re feeling too tired to walk the return then not to worry, because buses run regularly from Stoke Fleming back to Dartmouth. Read our visual guide to the wonderful\u00a0walk from Dartmouth to Blackpool Sand<\/a>s for the finer route details.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/a>Dartmouth to Sugary Cove<\/h3>\n

Distance:<\/strong>\u00a02 mile return
\nStarting point:<\/strong>\u00a0Dartmouth town centre<\/p>\n

\"Dartmouth<\/p>\n

Little beats the thrill of discovering a secret cove whilst exploring the South West Coast Path, and the Dartmouth to Sugary Cove walk is the perfect anecdote for those in search of a micro adventure. The amble itself is a simple and moderately easy return route, and great for leisurely walking off an indulgent feast. After all, when surrounded by Dartmouth\u2019s award-winning eateries it\u2019s hard not to treat yourself to a delicious meal! Largely hidden by woodland, and with no signs to guide you, Sugary Cove is one of Dartmouth\u2019s true hidden gems, and despite there being a fair few (in our count, nearly 70!) steep steps leading down to it, it\u2019s a remote, quiet stretch of shingle that many visitors never realise is there and is well worth the effort.<\/p>\n

Providing a wonderful bolthole to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, Sugary Cove is popular with those who love\u00a0wild swimming in South Devon<\/a>. If you\u2019re an avid sea swimmer, be sure to pack your snorkel and goggles – the sea life is spectacular with fish, spider crabs and starfish putting on quite a show. Seals often frequent the water here too, so don\u2019t be surprised if you are joined by a few extra friends. Once you\u2019re in the water, keep to your left and you will notice a gap in the rocks which leads into a magical channel, linking through to Castle Cove next door. Swimming through here is an amazing experience, but only attempt this if you are a competent swimmer and the sea isn\u2019t rough because as you would expect, there are no lifeguards in this area. Also, please note, Sugary Cove is a tidal beach that is completely cut off at high tide, so be mindful to plan your trip accordingly.<\/p>\n

With so much activity, you\u2019re sure to work up an appetite. Conveniently, there is an open stretch of grass otherwise known as Sugary Green, situated just above the beach with three picnic benches, perfect for al fresco dining. If you forget to bring supplies, not to worry, because Dartmouth Castle and its tea rooms can be found just 100m away. Regardless of where you choose to replenish, be sure to fill those rumbling tums before heading back to Dartmouth.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/a>Little Dartmouth<\/h3>\n

Distance:\u00a0<\/strong>4 miles circular
\nStarting point:<\/strong>\u00a0Little Dartmouth National Trust Car Park<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Dartmouth<\/p>\n

One of the most popular Dartmouth walks amongst both local residents and visitors alike, the Little Dartmouth circular is a stunning four mile circular coastal walk. With far-reaching views across the sea towards Dartmouth, Start Bay and Start Point Lighthouse, donned with an abundance of thriving coastal flowers and several secret coves to explore, this is a true slice of South Devon heaven – the perfect walk for those that want to experience Dartmouth at its very finest. The route itself is moderately challenging and covers a variety of terrain including footpaths, canopied woodland and also a long, unmetalled farm track. What\u2019s more, you can expect several short, steep climbs that are certain to get the blood pumping, and be warned, after heavy rainfall this walk can get rather muddy and sometimes slippery, so make sure you wear adequate footwear.<\/p>\n

To start the walk, strike out onto the coast path – there is a shingle path leading directly from the car park, this is the one to take! The views are impressive from the outset, and you will immediately find yourself greeted by the wide and expansive ocean – if you\u2019re lucky, you might spot dolphins crossing the bay. We recommend taking binoculars to help observe the wildlife in a little more detail. Following the Little Dartmouth route is easy and the path is well marked, so there is little opportunity to get lost and ample time for soaking up all the goodness that mother nature provides. Mid walk, the coast path loops around Compass Valley then descends seawards, bearing right at the bottom down to Compass Cove – secluded and sandy, this is a great resting point and popular amongst those looking to escape the crowds, especially in summer. Slightly further along, you will become privy to Ladies Cove and also Deadman\u2019s Cove, before looping back along a level farm track to your finish point at the car park.<\/p>\n

<\/a>The Dart Valley Trail<\/h3>\n

Distance:<\/strong>\u00a016 miles
\nStarting point:\u00a0<\/strong>Dartmouth town<\/p>\n

\"Dartmouth
\n
\n<\/strong>The Dart Valley Trail is one of South Devon\u2019s most favoured Dartmouth walks, and once you’ve become privy to its magic, it\u2019s easy to see why. Around 16 miles long, this magical walking route follows the wooded banks of the stunning River Dart from Dartmouth to Totnes, passing through various chocolate box villages including Tuckenhay<\/a>,\u00a0Dittisham<\/a>, and\u00a0Stoke Gabriel<\/a>. The natural beauty this walking route encompasses is awe inspiring, and not only will you be treated to sweeping river views stretching as far as Dartmoor and oppositely Torbay, but there are endless creeks and riverside beaches just waiting to be explored. As you would expect, wildlife on and in the River Dart is rife, so be on the lookout for herons, egrets, kingfishers, cormorants and seals and if you\u2019re really lucky you may lay eyes on the lesser spotted otter.<\/p>\n

The walking route itself is long and challenging, but if you\u2019re fit and feeling energetic then there is no reason as to why it can\u2019t be undertaken in one day (at a push!). To accomplish this you will need to walk at a consistently brisk pace, so be prepared and make sure you\u2019ve tucked into a hearty breakfast beforehand. Of course, if this doesn\u2019t appeal, then you can also complete the walk in smaller chunks, for example Dartmouth \/ Kingswear to Greenway, Dartmouth to Dittisham or perhaps Dittisham to Totnes. For finer details on all walking route options, read our Dart Valley Trail walking guide<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/a>Dartmouth to Dittisham via Greenway<\/h3>\n

Distance:<\/strong>\u00a010 -12 mile circular (depending on exact route)
\nStarting point:<\/strong>\u00a0Dartmouth Quay \/ Kingswear<\/p>\n

\"Dartmouth<\/p>\n

One of the most famous and most loved of all Dartmouth walks, this circular hiking route is considered one of South Devon\u2019s crown jewels, showcasing South Devon in all her magical glory! This is a challenging walk, with an array of very steep ascents and descents. However, it\u2019s more than worth it for those that are up for the challenge. The views of the Dart Valley are second to none and take in not just the river but also the estuary and coastal views that reach as far as Torbay. The breadth of terrain covered is wide, providing an ever changing walking environment so expect to navigate unspoiled farmland, rolling countryside, canopied woodland and even a towering pine forest. What\u2019s more, you will become privy to some of the most secluded and secret creeks on the River Dart that are simply perfect for an al fresco picnic, so don\u2019t forget to pack sumptuous supplies and a hardy rug.<\/p>\n

Although the walk itself starts in Dartmouth, the first step in the journey is to cross the estuary to\u00a0Kingswear<\/a>\u00a0on the passenger ferry. From here, you lead down to the boatyard and continue on a path with the railway line adjacent – if you\u2019re lucky, you might catch the impressive (and equally as noisy!)\u00a0Dartmouth Steam Railway<\/a>\u00a0train in action. After navigating both dense forest and open countryside, you will reach the grounds of the\u00a0National Trust\u2019s Greenway House and Garden<\/a>. This is the perfect opportunity to explore the former holiday home of Agatha Christie, and you will also find an excellent caf\u00e9 here should you be in need of a light refreshment. Afterwards, cross the river to\u00a0Dittisham\u00a0<\/a>for an equally breathtaking (in both senses of the word!) walk back to Dartmouth or simply to explore this pretty harbour village before settling down for a meal at the\u00a0Ferry Boat Inn<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0Anchorstone Caf\u00e9<\/a>, both of which sit right on the water\u2019s edge, and take in wonderful views of the river. The\u00a0Greenway Passenger Ferry<\/a>\u00a0also offers an easy and scenic route back to Dartmouth if you aren\u2019t keen on the long walk back. However, if you do want to continue walking then you will lead through farmland and open countryside all the way back to Dartmouth town centre.<\/p>\n

At Coast & Country Cottage we love this walk, so much so we have detailed the finer details of the\u00a0Dartmouth to Dittisham via Greenway walk<\/a>\u00a0here.<\/p>\n
