South West Coast Path: South Devon

Home | Walking Holidays | South West England | South West Coast Path: South Devon

Our South Devon holidays are as diverse as they are delightful, with 125 miles of truly unforgettable coastline. Bookended by Plymouth, where the Pilgrim Fathers departed for the New World in 1620, and Lyme Regis, renowned for its World Heritage Jurassic Coast, this section offers both historical significance and breathtaking beauty.

On your journey you’ll enjoy idyllic coastal villages, golden surf-washed beaches and rocky headlands rewarding you with incredible views. Take time to soak up the atmosphere of the lively resorts on the English Riviera. Quiet time is guaranteed too as you pass through ancient woodlands and visit peaceful coves.

With its many National Nature Reserves and Sites of Special Scientific Interest, South Devon is incredibly rich in flora and fauna. Wildlife and birdlife are plentiful too and you never know, you might spot dolphins or other marine life along the way. You’ll also explore sections of the Jurassic Coast where you can try your hand at fossil hunting. For those with an industrial interest, there are miles of Brunelian railway line, lighthouses, wartime defences and an ill-fated abandoned village.

However you choose to explore the South Devon Coast, either a full on fortnight for the entire route, or nice and steady over several visits, our holidays promise a rewarding experience, filled with natural beauty, fascinating history, and memories that will last a lifetime.
