Explore Devon on foot
Twenty walks show the variety of Devon beyond its famous long-distance trails, mixing cliff paths and estuaries with green lanes, woodland, villages and historic towns. Rachael Rowe brings local stories, literary connections and maritime history into routes that are generally between two and five miles.
The selection ranges widely across the county, including Appledore, Beer, Bigbury-on-Sea, Dittisham, Hartland, Plymouth, Salcombe, Start Point and Westward Ho!, together with inland walks at Dartington, Great Torrington, Hembury Woods and Tiverton. Agatha Christie, Henry Williamson, Charles Kingsley, smugglers, wreckers and Devon’s nautical past all feature along the way.
Each walk provides clear route directions together with mapping, photographs and practical information covering distance, gradient, difficulty, approximate walking time, parking, paths, facilities and places for refreshments.
