7th visit -on our usual lovely 3 hr coastal loop from the door in Kingswear. Many steep ups and downs on the coastal path then much flatter and more direct on the inland return. Came up from the coast through the lovely gardens of NT Coleton Fishacre.Chris Pearson16/03/2024
Usual 3 hr circuit from the house. Windy today - but kept dry.Chris Pearson13/03/2024
regular morning coastal walk with L, including another good haul of sea glass from our favourite cove at low tide (+2 footballs in a net -probably used by fishermen as a float). Breezy and showery today.Chris Pearson09/03/2024
Becoming a regular walk for us during our 3+ weeks cat sitting at Kingswear. Beautiful sunny warm Spring day for a sheltered coastal walk above a sparkling sea with no one around. Mediterranean- like today -living up to its English Riviera tag! Coastal path out past Froward CG, with a good look at The Mew Stone. Inland return over summit and f'paths.Chris Pearson06/03/2024
Back again with L exploring the local footpaths from Kingswear. Avoiding Olympic sized puddles the best we could and dodging heavy showers on a fresh spring morning. Lovely as ever to be above the sea.Chris Pearson01/03/2024
Repeat visit. Morning coastal walk with L from cat sit in Kingswear. One heck of a big climb up a million steps, or so it seemed. Nice welcome chat in National Coastguard Watch (heated)hut and a peer through their telescope at some lobster fisherman dropping cages. Inland return from summit down slippery smooth rocky path running with water. Mild and bird song and smelt fresh.Chris Pearson29/02/2024
The start of a circular walk to Kingswear.summitter11/01/2023
Little more than a walk from the car park down a bridleway for a bit and back along the road.vegibagger17/12/2017
NT car park. Bank is highest but also went to verge of road through the stone gates.PeterD12/12/2017
Visited after a day at NT Coleton Fishacre which was splendid. Highest point on the bank I thought but obviously man made. Could be in field next to the car park?Herbert Anchovy25/08/2017
Summit car parking then circular coastal walk with many ups and downs in hot sunshine. Lengthy halt on Scabbacombe Sands (pebbles everywhere - nudists at far end!) for a paddle and Finn the Pointer to swim out to retrieve sticks (and my hat) . Friendly welcome at voluntary coastguard watch at Fowrard Head and the WWII gun battery , which could fire 14 miles and could protect the approach to Slapton Sands - a feared likely spot for Hitler's invasion of Britain in Operation Sealion - which thankfully never came about as German supremacy of the sea and air was not achieved which had been one of his preconditions.Chris Pearson16/06/2017
Summit by pine SE corner of car park, or thereabouts!RHW09/07/2016
Here for the trig day marker.jonglew09/07/2016
The most natural high point feels to be the road close to the lone pine just SW of the stone gate pillars. Grassy bank in the car park is higher. Sadly the car park pine tree has toppled and the remains are being removed. Bright sunshine, cloudless skies but a cold NE wind. Pleasent walk up from Kingswear.RichardM16/03/2016
Combined with a visit to National Trust property Coleton Fishacre. The car park is there for those wishing to d a circular walk on National Trust stretch of coastline.ijpowell26/07/2015
Easy parking. Summit could be anywhere so had a good wander around. Tower well worth a visit.destaylor13/06/2015
Parked at this point to walk to Day Beacon.Dusty22/05/2011
