Beautiful day suggested itinerary

If you can leave Halekulani Devon before 10am (earlier the better) you can explore some of the most beautiful places around this area

Anstey's Cove Road

Nestled between Babbacombe and Torquay, Ansteys Cove is an ideal place to take in the best of the English Riviera coastline, away from the hustle and bustle Ansteys Cove is an idyllic natural sun trap blessed with far reaching views across Lyme bay to the Dorset Coastline It's limestone clis and lush green hillsides combine with everyday marine life for scenery that's truly stunning Now, since you've got this far, here's a little secret! Even though Anstey's is not a tourist trap, it can get quite busy, so there is another beach that is closed to the public, right next door. Once you get to the cove, walk to your right and you will see Redgate beach There are only 2 ways to access this beach

One is to clamber over the "Keep Out" barrier and down the rocks, and the second is to swim or kayak from Anstey's

Elberry Cove

25 locals recommend

Close to Paignton is Elberry Cove, a small inlet with a small pebble beach Far from the bustle of the main beaches, so you can relax without being disturbed by noisy crowds or amusement arcades This is the designated beach for water skiing, so no swimming in the ski lane The beach can only be accessed on foot, so if you have the car with you, park at Broadsands and take a stroll along the coastal path The scenery at Elberry Cove is beautiful; it’s framed by wooded hillsides and the sea is crystal clear and safe to swim in At one end of the beach you’ll nd the remains of Lord Churston’s bathhouse, a romantic 18th century ruin. The building was once three storeys, with a thatched roof and a ground floor that would flood when the tide came in This meant that Lord Churston and his guests could swim straight out into the sea through a gated doorway The building also boasted an early version of a hot tub, with a re heating up the seawater to warm swimmers after their dip Elberry Cove was one of Agatha Christie’s favourite bathing spots Her holiday home at Greenway is not far away, and the cove even features in one of her novels, The ABC Murders, as the setting of Sir Carmichael Clarke’s untimely death You'll nd Elberry Cove on the Agatha Christie Literary Trail

Shaldon

47 locals recommend Picturesque village by the sea as estuary with beach and cafes

Wandering along the narrow, twisting streets of the tiny south Devon village of Shaldon, past the bowling green and rows of thatched cottages and listed Georgian homes, you wouldn't bat an eyelid if a horse-drawn carriage rolled past, or a lady swept by in Georgian dress It seems to be the seaside village that time forgot, almost For nearly 200 years, residents have gathered every August on the pocket-sized red sandy beach for the annual regatta, while the distinctive black and white boat, which shuttles people across to the town of Teignmouth on the other side of the estuary, is Britain's oldest passenger ferry, dating from Saxon times Guarding this community from the sea is the Ness, Shaldon's towering headland and cli face, through which runs a smugglers' tunnel to a hidden beach

South West Coast Path

The South West Coast Path is just as good for short walks and gentle strolls as it is for long-distance walking, and we have collated walks from all around the path so you are sure to nd one to suit your taste

Most of these are less than 5 miles long – perfect for a half-day walk with family and friends followed by a picnic or pub lunch, but if you are looking for longer walks we have these too

You can choose from one of the many themes using the buttons on the side, or use the Walknder tool, which allows you to quickly narrow down your selection by multiple themes, distance and diculty

Dartmouth Castle Castle Road

118 locals recommend

This fascinating complex of defences was begun in 1388 by John Hawley, privateering Mayor of Dartmouth and the prototype of the flamboyant ‘Shipman’ in Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales About a century later the townsmen added the imposing and well-preserved ‘gun tower’, probably the very rst fortication in Britain purpose-built to mount ‘ship-sinking’ heavy cannon Climb to the top for breathtaking views across the estuary and see how it could be blocked in wartime by a heavy chain

Unusually incorporating the ne church of St Petrox, the castle saw action during the Civil War, and continued in service right up until the Second World War Successive up-dating included the Victorian ‘Old Battery’ with its remounted heavy guns, guardrooms and maze of passages to explore

There is plenty to do inside the castle and if the weather is ne, you can make it a full day out with a river boat trip from the town quay up to the castle, landing you a minute’s walk away from the castle entrance After you have explored the castle, you can visit a riverside tea room for light lunches and snacks Walkers will love the coastal and woodland walks around the castle where you can spot plenty of wildlife and birds

Torre Abbey is an archaeological site of national importance Founded in 1196, it became the wealthiest English monastery of the order of Premonstratensian canons The extent of its survival makes Torre Abbey the best-preserved medieval abbey in Devon and Cornwall After King Henry VIII closed the monastery in 1539, two of its former ranges were adapted for use as a private house. From 1662, this house became the home of the Cary family, who lived here for nearly 300 years

Art and Culture

The local council acquired Torre Abbey in 1930 and adapted it for use as an art gallery and the Mayor’s Parlour Today the abbey provides an ideal setting for Torbay’s collection of paintings and antiques, most of which have been donated by local people Several times a year, Torre Abbey welcomes visiting art exhibitions from partners including the V&A, the Tate and the Arts Council Collection We organise a programme of activities to complement these dynamic and varied exhibitions

Daddyhole PlainEasy to access with car park panoramic view of Tor Bay

Take the South West Coast Path – a circular walk from Vane Tower to Daddyhole Plain

Feel like a stroll but not a hike? This little walk is right on our doorstep It does have lots of steps but is only about 2km long and has wonderful views Sturdy footwear needed

Come out of Vane Tower’s main gate, turn left and walk down the hill to the hairpin bend Straight ahead of you are the long flight of stone steps heading down the hill

Walk down to the bottom of the steps and turn left This is Parkhill Road and you will walk past the back of Torbay Yacht Club on your right

After a short distance you will come to a T junction. Go left and staying on Parkhill Road walk up the hill towards the Imperial Hotel which you will see on your right

Turn right and follow the signs towards the Imperial There will be a low multi storey car park on your left and the hotel entrance ahead of you on the right

You will see a footpath marked To the Beach straight ahead of you Follow this path which is The South West Coast Path

The winding path leads between two high stone walls The rst viewing area you come to on the right leads down to Peaked Tor Cove via a series of terraces There are plenty of steps down to the bottom so you can either explore or keep going

The South West Coast path continues around to the right and then goes past a break in the wall to your left with some steps leading up the hill This is the Coast Path but continue straight on around the corner because you don’t want to miss the spectacular viewing point over Torquay’s natural limestone arch – London Bridge as it is known. This should be your view on a good day

Turn round and follow the path back After a very short distance you will see a break in the wall on your right with steps going up Follow this path up the hill and at the top will be more viewing points of London Bridge

Keep the sea on your right and keep going

You will have lovely views across the bay to Berry Head and Brixham in the distance If you are lucky you may see a Peregrine Falcon

After a short while you will go down some steps and back into a wooded area On the right you will see a steep, slippery footpath leading down with glimpses of the sea through the trees If you have a head for heights, you can explore that path and see the top of London Bridge but be careful

The views from London Bridge

Back on the footpath, just past London Bridge there are some wooden railings Look over them for this view:

Then keep following the path which winds uphill and start climbing

There are lots of steps but there are also a few well-placed benches

Once at the top, the path continues straight and flat and then goes under a little tower which crosses the path

Keep the sea on your right and follow this path until it goes left up some steps and goes under a stone arch leading onto Daddyhole Plain

You will come out by the Coastwatch station on your left which has a visitor’s information centre There are wonderful views from Daddyhole Plain Daddy is an old Devon name for the devil and there is a cave at the bottom of the clis which, according to local legend, was the devil’s cave

Now you have a choice: If you want to carry on along the coast path, keep the sea on your right and keep going If you are feeling hungry you will come to the lovely Meadfoot Café within 5-10 minutes

If you want to head back to Vane Tower walk towards the brightly coloured coastguards’ cottages on Daddyhole Plain and follow the little road to the right of them down the hill and turn left onto Daddyhole Road
