Join us for the latest in our series of walks aimed at helping you discover more about the South Devon National Landscape.
This will be a lovely walk from the village of Kingswear. We shall be following the Eastern bank of the Dart Estuary until Long Wood, near Noss-on-Dart. We’ll then return to Kingswear, via a different, somewhat parallel, path . Our Estuaries Officer, Nigel, will be leading us and helping to bring alive the varied views of the main estuary, a hidden secret creek and the native woodland. This is a moderate walk of about 5 ½ miles, with some muddy, uneven and unsurfaced stretches of footpath – expect some short steep inclines & declines. The meeting point for the walk will be The Banjo, on the pavement at the Brixham Road junction, opposite Kingswear Village Stores. There are public toilets in Kingswear Square. There is paid parking using the Darthaven Marina carpark, or you can park in Dartmouth and get a lower ferry across. Look out for your leaders in South Devon National Landscape branded clothing. This walk is slightly longer than others in our series, expect to be back in Kingswear at around 2pm.
Bring a bottle of water, a packed lunch/snack, good footwear and weather-appropriate clothing. Dogs on leads are welcome if making your own way there, however if booking our transport option, we are unable to take dogs in the vehicles.
We are running a 7 and a 9-seater van for people who don’t have their own transport, with pick-ups Follaton Arboretum, Totnes (by wooden sign) at 09:10, or Paignton Asda (adjacent to the main entrance) at 09:35.
