National Trails

Follows dramatic clifftops with steep ascents and descents through Torquay's coastal villages, passing hidden coves and the distinctive red sandstone cliffs around Hope's Nose. Challenging gradients and uneven paths make this unsuitable for buggies and young children. Dogs welcome on leads near cliff edges and through residential areas. Rewards walkers with stunning views across Tor Bay, secluded beaches, and the contrast between wild coastline and elegant Victorian seafront promenades.

John Musgrave Heritage Trail

Follows the River Dart through Totnes, combining riverside meadows and woodland paths on mostly flat, well-maintained terrain. Perfect for families and buggies along the paved sections, though some wooded stretches can be muddy after rain. Dogs welcome and will love the riverside stretches. Celebrates local heritage with information boards about John Musgrave's conservation work, offering an easy, accessible walk that connects town, river and nature without the Devon hills.
