Kingsbridge to Bowcombe Creek –  A delightful route following creeks and green lanes steeped in the trade and travel of past times.

This short moderate walk offers melting views of the boat-bobbing estuary and charming South Hams countryside, and a host of waterfowl and wading birds into the bargain.

 

Geocache
This walk includes one hidden National Landscape geocache – ‘Your South Devon landscape 10 ’ . Information about our geocaches and how to find them here.
